The operating income and cash flow were strong,
operating expense as a percentage of revenue was
lower, and earnings per share increased by an
impressive 300%. The strong cash flow improved the
balance sheet and the Company doubled the dividend
to `3 per share.
We essentially attained our income targets and further
improved the Company's value. Gratifying growth and
effective cost management led to increased operating
income through the year.
We worked hard on four strategic imperatives of
business performance that helped accelerate reaching
our goals. We enhanced our R&D and manufacturing
productivity; improved market share in premium
markets for our key products; built up a portfolio of
newer, differentiated products; and steadily increased
our profitability. A successful product portfolio was
central to our corporate strategy. We did well in newer
launches, niche products and in parenterals. We strived
for structured and result oriented approaches towards
enhancing the market presence and margin
improvement.

Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 5
According to independent research reports of industry
analysts, Aurobindo has been improving market share of
its products in the premium markets. I am gratified to
learn that analysts have estimated Aurobindo's share in
the US generic market has increased from 1.6% in
2010-11 to 4% as at March 2014.
We shall continue to execute on this tested approach to
drive value for the Company. Team Aurobindo remains
focused on the execution of the Company's operating
and financial objectives while also investing in our R&D
programs and information technology infrastructure to
help position us for future growth and success.
Value in everything we do encapsulates our sustainable
and successful professional approach. The
commitment, competence and creative power of our
people sustained for almost three decades have made
Aurobindo a fast growing pharmaceutical company. It is
the energy of over 9,500 employees in whom we take
true pride as we overcome the challenges ahead.

on the inspiration, expertise and dedication of our
people. We are cultivating high caliber leadership as
well as nurturing committed and responsible
employees.
As a process, we are strengthening our structures to
institutionalize good corporate governance,
professional management, financial discipline and
operational excellence. Our focus remains on building
our people capabilities and capacities for the growing
business of the future.
As I look ahead, we have set clear goals and aspirations
for our next set of milestones. In the medium term,
building on proven results, we are leveraging the power
of our carefully developed product portfolio,
relationships built over a long period and a diversified
customer mix. Further, we have an optimized cost
structure, robust balance sheet and a highly seasoned

We stepped up on enhancing efficiencies and improved
the services to our customers. We significantly
increased the reliability of deliveries from all our
manufacturing units, especially On-Time-In-Full (OTIF).
We aim to continue this trend of improving our level of
performance over the coming years. We also listened to
our customers and brought in rapid processing of their
feedback.
A key element of our high level of performance at
Aurobindo is the way we work together. We are shaping
an environment where team spirit, respect and fairness
flourish. We are leveraging on our management
capabilities to focus on efficient execution through
streamlined initiatives. We are creating specific skills
to face the challenges of tomorrow, improving our
processes, being flexible and rapidly implementing new
business opportunities. The will to set new objectives,
the drive to achieve them and the ability to adapt to
change in a highly competitive market are yielding
results.
We strengthened the balance sheet during 2013-14. We
ramped up volumes, increased revenues and margins
and improved cash flow. In fact, we maintained a
strong financial discipline and kept a threefold priority

It was another year of robust performance
and achievement, with accomplishments
in all major markets. At each level of the
organization, the resilience and
resourcefulness of our talented employees
ensured that our business continued to
grow and that we made inroads in niche
product markets.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 7
to deliver on our growth strategies. Throughout the
year, we were striving to optimize our cost structure,
enhance the consistency of profitability, as well as
increase the level and reliability of our cash flow from
operating activities to ensure adequate liquidity to
meet capital requirements. We generated traction by
improving efficiency through operational excellence,
cash generation through disciplined use of working
capital and long-term growth by expanding on our
strengths.
All our efforts translated into superior quality of
earnings. We realized consolidated revenue (net) of
`80,997.9 million for the year 2013-14. This represents
a 38.3% increase over the earlier year. Our EBITDA for
the year is `21,552.1 million, which is 26.6% of net
operating income, and has gone up by 142.3% over
2012-13. Change in sales and business mix had a
favorable impact on material consumption to net sales.
Cost of materials for the year under review was
44.5% of consolidated revenue (net) in comparison to
51.1% in the previous year.
We delivered earnings per share of `40.2 as against
`10.1 in the previous year, reflecting margin expansion,
product mix changes, lower material consumption, cost
reductions, process improvements and effectiveness in
the marketplace.
These numbers would have been better but for the
volatility in rupee-dollar equation. The closing rupee
versus US dollar rate was `59.915 on March 31, 2014;
and a year ago, at end of March 2013, it was `54.285.
The rupee depreciated by 10.4% in 2013-14 which
resulted in a net forex loss of `2,022.2 million for the
full year largely due to the reinstatement of our dollar-
denominated borrowings as against `1,353.2 million
in 2012-13.
Aurobindo of today is far better positioned for long
term sustainable growth and profitability. We have
several established products, a growing pipeline of
newer niche products, proven execution capabilities
and a competitive cost structure. Our complex and
multifaceted global business is managed by a team of
dedicated and highly experienced professionals.
The organizational structure ensures sharp focus on
accountability especially in areas such as quality and
compliance standards. Our strengths provide us with
tremendous opportunities to enhance competitiveness,
to improve our position in the marketplace, to raise the
productivity levels in all functions, while we strive to
reduce the risk quotient. The resilience of our business
and the investments that we have made over the past
few years underlines my confidence in the prospects of
our business.
We enter the new financial year 2014-15 with renewed
optimism. We propose to drive further growth with new
products, add to the momentum with niche launches
and aim to enhance profitability. With our known
capabilities, we are also foraying in a calibrated way,
into differentiated product lines such penems,
peptides, oncology, hormone, neutraceuticals and OTC
products. We will continue to drive growth through
unparalleled knowledge in chemistry, increase the
investment in intellectual property, improve our market
reach and forge mutually advantageous partnerships
with our customers.
Across the Company, we have one overriding objective
and commitment: generating results that are profitable
and sustainable. We will enhance the efficiency with
which products are launched and improve the ability to
seize strategic opportunities. On the whole, Aurobindo
is aiming to drive up the bottom line to further
strengthen its position as a leading pharmaceutical
company.

Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 8
I am pleased that we achieved strong performance both
operationally and financially and made significant
investments in research, products and marketplace.
We took decisive steps to ensure our success in US as
well as in Europe. This includes executing on our
operating plans in the short-term while seizing ample
opportunities for growth across our businesses.
In 2013-14, we continued investing to capture this
growth.
The year was good on several fronts. We planned well
to move into the markets, stepped up our capacity
utilization at all manufacturing units, de-bottlenecked
our operations, ramped up on automation, upgraded
our operating systems and processes, worked hard on
quality assurance, optimized our supplies, improved our
effectiveness in supply chain, deepened our presence in
each country that we are present, augmented our
pharmaco vigilance systems and processes,
strengthened our management team, and generally did
well end-to-end in all aspects of our operations.
The financial results reflected the effectiveness of our
growth engines. Gross sales from formulations for the

year has been `53,785 million, recording a growth of
58.8% over `33,872 million reported in 2012-13.
Formulation sales in the US contributed 63.2% in the
overall formulation revenue in 2013-14 as against 51.7%
in the previous year.
Formulations sales constitute 65.3% (57.2% in 2012-13)
and API 34.7% (42.8% in 2012-13) of gross sales. Our
revenues in US accounted for `34,028 million as against
`17,526 million in the earlier year, a significant 94.2%
growth year-on-year. Europe recorded a sale of `6721
million in 2013-14, thereby growing by a healthy 43.6%
over the previous year.
The ROW formulations sales grew by 11.3% to `4,634
million in 2013-14 over `4,164 million in 2012-13. There
has been a growth in anti-retroviral (ARV) formulations
sales by 12% to `8,402 million during the year as
against `7,503 million in 2012-13. In every market, our
bottom line focus is leading to driving volumes in high
value products.
We continue to demonstrate quarter-on-quarter growth
in our US business and are expanding the portfolio that
we have carefully built up. There are a significant
number of new products to be launched in 2014-15 as
well as several applications pending with the regulatory
agency. These products are a combination of day-one
generic launches as well as products aimed at existing
markets. We therefore have a good mix of volume
drivers for US markets.
There is enormous strength within Aurobindo to deal
with complex chemistry and build a large enviable
portfolio in the antiretroviral business. These are being
leveraged to pursue revenue opportunities while
meeting bottom line requirements. Newer markets with
prospects for rising volumes and margins are being
explored.
In the injectable business, going forward, we are
gearing ourselves for a meaningful growth in the
medium term. We have 45 files with FDA under review,
and we hope to file 9 more in 2014-15 and another 30
in 2015-16. Hence, depending on the timing of the
regulatory approvals, we could see significant growth
over the next two to three years.
As a result of a new initiative to spearhead Aurobindo
into the Western European markets, we would
accelerate our strategy of pursuing growth and
providing critical scale in those generics markets.
We have acquired about 1,250 dossiers from this
initiative and some more new products are likely to be
launched in 2014 & 2015. In addition, there are about
100 products already exported from our manufacturing
units in India. We aim to improve the profitability and
turnaround the business by combining the best-in-class
integrated large scale India-based manufacturing
operations and the strengths of an existing European
infrastructure.
Our top priority is translating these investments into
bottom line results. We recognize that we are in a
competitive market and are therefore actively facing
the changing tasks and challenges building on our
learnings, experiences and achievements. We at
Aurobindo believe that we have the energy, direction
and conviction to concentrate intensely on markets and
activities that offer growth potential and future
prospects.
Indeed, we are focusing on high value formulations to
enhance operational efficiencies, reduce cycle time
and operating costs and in the final analysis improve
yields and profitability. This approach was successfully
tested in the past two years. We have ensured
future market access and yet have worked on
concentration risk.
We have fine tuned our strategies for growth, planned
well for the short and medium term and made
appropriate investments in technology and capacity to
drive growth fundamentals and take advantage of
future opportunities. We have invested in scale,
expertise as well as in the breadth of our offerings to
ensure long-term success of Aurobindo to deliver value.
We are systematizing our processes to help replicate
our successes. More important, we have headroom to
grow: in the marketplace, with our strong product
portfolio and our large world class manufacturing
capacities.
We shall strive to sustain the present momentum of
growth.

THRUST INTO WESTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Aurobindo and Actavis plc, a global, integrated specialty pharmaceutical
company, have entered into a long-term commercial and supply arrangement.
Aurobindo acquired from Actavis the personnel, commercial infrastructure,
products, marketing authorizations and dossier licence rights in seven
European countries.
Following the receipt of clearances from competent authorities, Aurobindo
intends to combine the strength of both enterprises (including its vertically
integrated platform and existing commercial infrastructure) in these markets
and to identify and maximize all opportunities to improve performance.
Aurobindo will combine the best-in-class integrated large scale India-based
manufacturing operations and existing European infrastructure. With our cost
competitiveness and group structure, we could significantly capitalize on the
strong market position of Actavis in these Western European countries and
improve the profitability of Aurobindo.
The acquisition will enable the Company to achieve critical mass in Western
Europe with a top 10 position in several key markets. Simultaneously, the
Company will work closely with the acquired management teams to achieve a
rapid and successful integration. In addition, the integrated business would
provide a readymade hospital sales infrastructure for Aurobindo to launch its
own injectable and specialty portfolio.
Significant new initiatives
in 2013-14
OTC
Aurobindo has competencies to make a significant headway into the
over-the-counter (OTC) market. Development work has commenced for
35 OTC monograph products and exhibit batches have been made.
Filings have commenced with US FDA and the Company will exploit its
manufacturing and marketing strengths to commence commercial
production in second half of 2014.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 11
PEPTIDES
Peptides are naturally occurring biological molecules. They are short chains of amino
acid monomers linked by peptide (amide) bonds. Aurobindo has started investing in
peptide technology and is building a commercial facility with two modules
commensurate with cGMP standards. Necessary equipments have been commissioned
and we have developed technologies for more than ten products. Validation batches
have been completed for three peptides and sample shipments have commenced to
customers for their development work. Drug Master Files are being prepared and we
propose to seek a few product filings before the end of 2014-15.
There are over 30 peptides which are available globally and Aurobindo is
capable of making each of these peptides and aspires to be an important
player in the premium markets. Considering the capability that we have in
terms of technology as well as competency in our experienced and talented
resources, Aurobindo can compete with the best players in the industry, in the
near future. The revenue streams are planned to commence in 2015.
ONCOLOGY & HORMONAL PRODUCTS
The Company is also in the process of developing wide range of oncology
products and hormonal products. Our product capabilities would include vials,
prefill syringes and softgel capsules that are used in the hospital as well
as in oncology clinics and renal clinics.
A new R&D Centre dedicated for generic research in the field of oncology and
hormones was set up in October 2013 at Hyderabad to develop anticancer drugs and
hormonal products, both for solid and parenteral dosage forms. Dossiers are
expected to be filed in 2015-16.
PENEMS
Aurobindo has developed and made Penem
filings for a few products in injectable
portfolio that are administered in the
pre-operating process. These are products
would be used while under anesthesia
reversal such as neuromuscular blockers.
NEUTRACEUTICALS
The Company is exploring opportunities in the
neutraceutical market. R&D activities have
been initiated to identify and develop synthetic
neutraceutical products. During 2013-14,
process development work to manufacture a
few products has been completed.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 12
Increasing R&D productivity
c. Cost effective quality research;
d. Vision for the future.
During the financial year, several new initiatives were
taken to add traction to building a formidable API
business. Some of the achievements were as follows:
? The technology involving complex chemistry and
tough purification procedures to manufacture
certain niche drug substances for injectable
products were transferred;
? Chemical processes were developed for quite a
number of complicated drug substances, taking
them to production stage on a commercial scale;
? Knowhow and analytical capabilities were
enhanced to test and comply with the stringent
requirements of the new guidelines on elemental
impurities in drug substances;
? In line with our on-going program to achieve cost
optimization plan, chemical technology was
modified/optimized to reduce the raw materials
cost for several drug substances;
? R&D activities were initiated to identify and
develop neutraceutical products. Process
Aurobindo's strength lies in vertically integrating its
finished dosages manufacturing with active
pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) production to yield
quality formulations, based on extensive research. Our
forte is in managing non-infringing processes and
chemistry challenges for drug substances with complex
drug products developed by using innovative
technologies.
The vast scientific talent pool at Aurobindo creates
intellectual wealth for the Company and
commercializes cost effective, quality, generic finished
dosages for the targeted market. In order to assure
continued growth, it is our goal to increase the
productivity of research and development to achieve a
steady flow of new products. Our continuous initiatives
have resulted in a well balanced pipeline,
strengthening the competitive position with a
differentiated product portfolio.
Research & development (R&D), the foundation of
Aurobindo's success and the major driver of business, is
focused primarily on:
a. Excellent infrastructure and talent pool;
b. Robust portfolio of new products;
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 13
development to manufacture a few
neutraceuticals was successfully completed;
? As in the past, R&D efforts continued to focus on
timely development of drug substances for
Paragraph IV filings to avail 'Day One Launch'
opportunities in the US market.
Formulations R&D strived to support the growing/new
business avenues with dedicated generic research for
new product development in the areas of non-steriles
(oral solids, oral liquids) and steriles (injectables,
opthalmics and inhalations).
It is remarkable that a milestone of 300 submissions to
the US FDA was achieved at the end of 2013 and as at
end of March 2014 the submissions totaled 336 ANDA
filings. Significant contributions this year include filing
of 78 ANDAs with US FDA in addition to several filings
with other regulatory agencies. We also filed 18 Drug
Master Files during the year in USA, cumulatively
reaching 190 as at end of the financial year.
API DMF/COS filings in other key regulated markets
have reached 2,245 as at end of March 2014. Relentless
efforts were also made to apply for product and patent
approvals with other regulators.
The R&D team went the extra mile with thrust on oral
contraceptives and opthalmics. As a result, major
projects in these portfolios have been completed. New
business areas of OTC products and softgels were
identified and first submissions were made in this year
marking the start of a new business avenue. The
Company has acquired a new production facility at
Lawrenceville, NJ to take this business forward.
Manufacture of exhibit batches have already
commenced during the year.
Aurobindo has making headway in drug development of
anti-cancer drugs and hormonal products, both in solid
and parenteral dosage forms. In 2014-15, filings for
approvals are being planned for a few products.
While continuing to develop formulations in various
therapeutic and dosage form areas, R&D efforts are
also directed at exploring innovative products and
platform technologies. The idea is to examine
differentiated drug delivery systems for existing
molecules.
The future plans include making additional investments
on the safety aspects of the chemical technology
especially for process intensification and process

initiate development of continuous process technology.
As in the past, the focus continues on enhanced
quality-by-design to achieve cost effective product
development in APIs, formulations and packaging
materials.

Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 14
Delivering quality
Aurobindo is aware that a critical element of robust
compliance, which supports value-driven analysis and a
low-risk audit defense strategy, lies in understanding
the interrelatedness among the laboratory compliance
levels.
Hence, the Company has instituted a strong system that
requires raw data - and its related review - conform
with the standard operating procedures. Documenting
everything and maintaining good records using good
documentation practices demonstrate that quality is
the responsibility of each analyst and must be
incorporated into every aspect of an analysis.
Operational and procedural control points are being
monitored routinely and audited to identify any need
for remediation. Within the manufacturing process at
Aurobindo, control points have been developed from
system validation deliverables, in addition to system
backup and restore, audit trail, good record keeping,
accountability levels and infrastructure requirements.
Awareness levels are being raised with operating
managers to ensure that quality and compliance are
everyone's business. The quality culture is being
reinforced with conscious interventions at various
operating levels. The plan is to attain the following
objectives on our way to reach zero quality complaints:
? Consistently define quality model within the
Company;
? Implement quality concept/policy as agreed;
Performance and reliability are two of our most
convincing assets at Aurobindo. We strive to ensure
that quality is in line with cGMP norms and, wherever
possible, enhance the benchmark standards. We have
invested heavily in compliance processes with inputs in
creating awareness, hiring more personnel, upgrading
our equipments and facilities. We brought responsible
care in everyone vested with accountability for
manufacturing and sensitized them to be correct at all
times.
Quality improvement is a constant and continuous
process. We see opportunities to improve our processes
and our efficiencies in our manufacturing operations
even as we manage to compress our overall costs. We
have integrated risk-based quality management system
in all our product life cycles. We have systematized
product development process.
Competent in-house employees keep testing the
effectiveness of our risk-based quality management
system. Quality assurance is achieved through several
measures such as process creation, enforcement,
review, re-engineering and capability building. These
measures are being complemented by training efforts
to improve behavior patterns and build a culture of
quality.
Within the Company's manufacturing system, there is
considerable premium attached to design, systems and
culture which ensures superior data governance.
We are known for the quality of our products, the value that we
provide and a culture of responsibility, respect and attention to detail.
We are a company with a distinct culture that encompasses an
ambitious approach to our work. Our emphasis is directed towards
compliance standards, customer requirements and patient needs.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 15
? Rules of adherence have been made simple to
understand, at all levels;
? Demonstrate concern for the long-term results and
business focus;
? Empower to take decisions to assume greater
responsibility;
? Dissect inadequacies in a resilient manner for
systemic solutions;
? Drive home the import of quality needs
consistently;
? Define responsibility and accountability levels;
? Relate to the bottom line to promote
accountability.
Today, automated quality management system is on
real-time basis ensuring that documentation is on-line,
thus improving the monitoring process. The systems are
at user level, identifying the accountability levels.
Critical activities are being closely monitored,
minimizing the probability of human errors. The
operating managers have the edge to foresee crisis
situations ahead of the event, and take remedial
actions and/or preempt them.
There is a high level of training, awareness and
systemic improvements to underline focused quality
assurance. In the final analysis, Aurobindo has not only
enhanced the assurance standards but also minimized
the risk attached to the processes, products and service
levels.
Quality Management System
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 16
the shop floor. The program focuses on building
ownership to identify process improvements and
immediately implement them. Each employee
identifies projects that can improve productivity,
reduce cycle time and meet timelines. We have
covered six manufacturing units through this initiative.
GB - Green Belt certification: This is an effort to
institutionalize process improvements that reduce cycle
time, boost productivity, enhance capacity utilization
and sensitize employees with problem solving concepts
and tools. Select 45 individuals have been trained and
are Green Belts today.
Internal trainers: As part of enhancing employee
engagement, we identified in-house subject matter
experts (SME) and trained them on train-the-trainer
programs. We today have 165 SMEs who train in
subjects such as cGMP, SOP training and audit
preparedness.
Boot Camp: Trainers take sessions on planning,
communication, OAR (Ownership, Accountability &
Responsibility) and team work and use live examples
straight from the shop floor to encourage participants,
motivate supervisors and seek improvement right away.
This is a high impact, high recall and high productivity
effort.
SMT - Self managed teams: An intensive three month
program, training permanent workmen on handling
production and small time maintenance with emphasis
Our experience, knowhow and state-of-the-art
technology serve to continuously advance far sighted
solutions and enhanced performance for the future.
Competent and committed people within Aurobindo are
empowered and encouraged to produce results and
grow their knowledge, skills and abilities. They are
being nurtured to become the Company's capital asset.
The Company to a large extent owes its performance
and technological edge to the commitment, creativity
and talent of its employees. Our well trained and
motivated employees comprise the basis for the
significant success and further development of the
Company. There is hence a program to continually
implement a variety of measures for the promotion,
continuing learning and professional development of
individual employees.
Aurobindo believes that we must customize learning
initiatives that result in sustainable improvement,
meeting existing and future business needs. While we
invested in identifying our organizational competencies
and functional skills, we now work with businesses
designing organizational development interventions
that improve processes, build capabilities, manage
relationships and most importantly make us cost
effective.
Some of the learning and development projects
implemented during the year are as follows:
FEiT - Functional Expert in Teams: This is an initiative
that involves operators and executives directly from
Nurturing human capital
At Aurobindo, we have an enormous store of professional experience
and expertise in areas such as chemistry, R&D, process engineering,
manufacturing, quality control and assurance and logistics. We have
turned this edge into a decisive advantage.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 17
on cGMP, critical SOPs, chemical handling and safety
procedures.
Safety Mantra: These programs are organized for the
entire production, maintenance, warehouse and QC
teams which has lowered incidents and accidents
related to earthing practices, nitrogen handling, use of
plastic liners & insulated material, proper control of
static electricity and accumulation of solvent
concentrations in work areas.
Training programs initiated in the past few years in
subject areas such as safety champions, organizational
values, operational excellence, team building, change-
room behavior, SOPs are being taken through as many
employees as are required. Over and above these on-
going training efforts, a training academy has been set
up for fresh graduate to ramp up the required technical
skills to cater to our growing business needs, as well as
focus on leadership development. The Aurobindo
Training and Development Centre (ATDC) has a vision to
develop and nurture technical and managerial talent
for business excellence through imparting world-class
application oriented training and developmental
interventions.
The ATDC is expected to create a pipeline of quality
talent to requirements in areas such as quality,
stability, regulatory domains, and enhance the existing
talent in several disciplines. Newer functional areas are
proposed to be added in the medium term.
With a clear focus on enhancing critical competencies,
training is being imparted to increase the level of
operational excellence, improve productivity, raise
compliance standards on quality and safety. The
objective is to modify work place behaviors to achieve
desired outcomes. A special team of subject matter
experts (SME) has been constituted to handle various
subjects with focus on practical application and provide
needed support as well as to monitor the progress.
Overall, in order to improve the efficiency, operational
excellence and to bring out the best in our people,
human capital efficiency studies have been initiated
with assistance from professional industrial engineers
for optimum deployment. Employee satisfaction levels
are being studied as well as competency mapping
exercise has been undertaken by external experts in
our bid to improve employee engagement.
Learning and development transformation Map
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 18
? created guidelines and standards for replicating
effective processes uniformly across all our units.
Every employee and every supervisor has been made
aware that being safe and taking care of ourselves and
each other are our highest priority. Our aim is to
protect our employees against work related hazards.
Employees in the manufacturing function are being
trained to become safety champions. They are being
trained to take ownership of production blocks where
they identify possible non-conforming work ethics,
counsel the user, train the team, even do minor repairs
as required and also conduct regular audits.
The Company has established work safety programs
which take into account regulatory requirements and
site specific challenges. We have a systematic approach
to investigating each element of a process to identify
all of the ways in which parameters can deviate from
the intended design conditions and create hazards or
operability problems.
We review the effectiveness of our occupational safety
measures by internal surprise audits. Technical and
organizational corrective measures are developed from
The cornerstones of sustainable business development
are the long-term competitive creation of value in
manufacturing as well as the most prudent use of
resources. The Company hence focuses on creating
human friendly working conditions. As a company
committed to ensuring that our pharma products
essentially meet the mandatory technical and
regulatory standards, we are earnest about protecting
our employees, our facilities and our environment from
harm, to conserve natural resources and promote eco-
awareness.
Safety
Our approach to business integrates a robust and
sustainable safety system to aim for zero incidents. In
our laid down policy, we have expressed our
commitment to the prevention of injury and illness.
During 2013-14, we enhanced our safety performance
by addressing the following three areas:
? strived to implement action plans suggested by
safety consultants and subject matter experts;
? continued with the thrust being given to hazards
and operability (HAZOP) studies; and,
Aurobindo has been committed to the fundamental principles of
sustainable development for several years. For us, it is important to
balance all three facets of business simultaneously: contribute to
society, create economic value and safeguard the ecology.
Ensuring sustainability
For both safety and environmental
management, the mantra to
monitor progress is
investigate-analyze-preempt.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 19
all deviations from laid down standards and
documented.
In order to reinforce the commitment levels, we
integrated safety in the job descriptions of supervisory
and managerial personnel at manufacturing units. We
intensified the training inputs to employees at
operating sites, with emphasis in safety training to
contractors' workmen. Specific targeted training was
also given to all employees in the engineering stream
on handling of machine tools, hand tools and
introduced work permit system. We stepped our vigil of
near-miss events, vastly reducing the likelihood of
incidents.
HAZOP studies which were initiated in the previous
year are progressing, with satisfactory completion of
38 products during the year. We studied root causes of
incidents which occurred throughout the Company
during the past three years, and targeted specific
safety training to all production employees on
importance of earthing, use of nitrogen blanket, usage
of conductive materials and avoiding solvent
concentrations in closed rooms. Hardware
improvements were done in areas such as installation
of nitrogen blanketing, breather valves, fire alarm
system, explosion flaps in tray driers, etc.
The main goal in occupational safety is to keep the
hazardous materials from entering the air at the
workplace. The objective is to avoid the emissions of
these materials into the environment. For instance,
after taking up a new product, before commencement
of any activity, the required safety-relevant control and
operating instructions are written and the employees
are trained on the contents of the documents.
We formed apex environment, health and safety (EHS)
committees in every unit, to raise the accountability
levels. In order to monitor at the organization level, an
EHS council was formed to facilitate corporate
supervision, intervention and review. Overall, we have
enhanced awareness and behavior pattern at our units,
thereby improving the safety culture.
Going ahead, we want to benchmark ourselves with
global standards, complete HAZOP studies for all
products, identify more action areas in every
manufacturing unit and extend the process safety
review methodology at formulation units. We want to
guarantee a high degree of safety in the workplace.
Our goal is to eliminate time lost due to accidents. We
have an ambitious program to that end.
Environment
It is important for us that economic growth be achieved
in harmony with environmental and social
responsibilities. We shall continue to adhere to the
fundamentals of sustainable development.
As a responsible corporate, we are striving to enhance
our environmental commitment with a four pronged
action plan:
? capacity building in our facilities and people;
? take pro-active initiative for environmental
clearances for new and expansion projects;
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 20
? ensure compliance with customer expectations and
regulatory norms; and,
? continue with our focus to reduce water
consumption, minimize wastewater generation,
and recycle and reuse wastes for achieving more
robust environment management mechanism
across the organization.
We have commenced capacity building in
environmental management and expansion vis-à-vis
regularization of existing manufacturing capacities and
related environmental loads at three API units of the
Company. We initiated two major environment
management projects at Aurobindo Unit I i.e. a 500 KL
multiple effect evaporator (MEE) system and a 500 KL
reverse osmosis system. One project is already put to
operation and the other project is under installation.
We are also planning tertiary and polishing treatment
for treated wastewater at Aurobindo Unit XI.
Environmental clearance project has been taken up for
Unit VIII and a project taken up for Unit I is being
readied for submission to the environmental authorities
at Delhi.
Several environment management operations taken up
in the recent past across the manufacturing units have
stabilized and the degree of consistency in
performance has improved as compared to previous
years. One more manufacturing unit has reached zero
discharge level. There are no process effluents going to
any common effluent treatment plant. We have
achieved zero process liquid discharge across all
Aurobindo API manufacturing units located at
Hyderabad. We are presently, creating sewerage
treatment plants in our research and production units.
We have been taking action to reduce our eco-footprint
and create more value with less environmental impact.
We are reducing any negative impact of our activities,
whether now or in the future. We are designing,
developing and using products with end-of-life in mind.
We therefore are bringing more functionality using less
material in our operations.
Proactive steps taken up during the past two years have
helped in sustaining and supporting uninterrupted
manufacturing and project activities, at all our sites.
Yet, we believe this is a continuous area of
improvement and we should explore further scope for
refining our standards and raise the level of
accountability of unit managers.
Capacity building is being targeted to reduce
wastewater disposal costs and recycling of treated
wastewater. As a practice, we shall also strive to
reduce waste disposal costs.
We are reviewing all our systems to further streamline
and strengthen compliance, regulatory & customer
benchmark standards. In the medium term, we shall
seek accreditations from global rating agencies for our
units.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 21
Corporate Social Responsibility
Vision
The Company shall carry its normal business in a
manner that is beneficial to society & environment in
addition to propagation of business.
Stakeholder involvement
For Aurobindo, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
means responsible business practices through the
involvement of all stakeholders in the decision making
process and in operations. It entails having business
policies that are ethical, equitable, environmentally
conscious, gender sensitive, and being sensitive
towards the differently abled. In the process,
Aurobindo commits itself to creating a more equitable
and inclusive society by supporting processes that lead
to sustainable transformation and social integration.
This process is being extended voluntarily as an
employee engagement initiative of the management
and employees. The philosophy & spirit of CSR is to be
spread across the organization through sensitization &
awareness program for cross-section of all employees.
Further, a CSR cell is being constituted as a Board
Committee to co-ordinate the activities.
In our attempt to be competitive and financially
healthy, we at Aurobindo remain equally responsible
and committed to create well-being with all those that
we transact. We are also steering the right course in
offering solutions to positively impact the society at
large.
We are formally establishing a strategy that is
integrated into our business to reflect the social and
environmental issues we have identified as Company
priorities, based on internal and external feedback.
The objectives of our policy are as follows:
? Demonstrate commitment to the common good
through responsible business practices and good
governance;
? Actively support the state's development agenda to
ensure sustainable change and attain development
of the neighboring society;
? Set high standards of quality in the delivery of
services in the social sector by creating robust

Management Discussion
& Analysis
ECONOMIC BACKGROUND
The Central Statistics Office had estimated
India's real GDP to have grown by 4.6% during
April-December 2013. It had projected the
GDP growth for the entire fiscal year 2013-
14 at 4.9%, thus implicitly estimating the
growth for the last quarter at 5.5%.
The country's real GDP growth (growth in gross
domestic product at factor cost at 2004-05
constant prices) was expected to pick up in
the last quarter of 2013-14. The early data
releases - IIP and merchandise exports -
indicate that the recovery has been prolonged.
As per preliminary estimates, the economy
has grown at a rate of 4.7% or even lower in
2013-14.
The growth is likely to have been subdued
because of poor performance of the mining,
manufacturing, construction and trade,
hotels, transport, storage & communication
services sectors. While the size of the mining
sector has shrunk on supply constraints, the
others have suffered due to poor domestic
demand, both consumption and investment.
The agriculture, financial, insurance, real
estate & business services and community,
social & personal services sectors are believed
to have grown well in 2013-14. The growth
in India's real GDP is expected to improve to
5.5% in 2014-15 from 4.7% in 2013-14.
The agriculture sector that did well in 2013-
14, owing to a good monsoon, is expected to
witness a sharp deceleration in growth to
1.8% in 2014-15 from 3.8% in 2013-14.
Unlike last year, the monsoon is expected to
be weak in 2014, as El Nino conditions are
expected to develop. The deficient rainfall and
high base of last year, is expected to pull
down the growth of the agricultural sector in
2014-15.
On the other hand, given the upbeat business
confidence, industrial and services sectors are
expected to show acceleration in growth in
2014-15. Industrial sector is expected to grow
by 3.3%, faster than a low 0.6% growth
estimated for 2013-14. The mining sector is
expected to return to growth provided no
natural calamities hamper production. The
sector will grow by 2.8%, after shrinking for
three successive years.
Investment demand in India is expected to
pick up gradually in 2014-15, as the Cabinet
Committee on Investments (CCI) has been
clearing several projects. The land acquisition
process has become easy post implementation
of the new land acquisition act. Fast tracking
of projects is expected to boost the
construction activity in India, generate new
employment and create fresh demand for
items like cement, steel and machinery.
High inflation and firm interest rates had
eaten into discretionary spending and savings
of the middle and lower class in 2013-14.
But, inflation is unlikely to rise in 2014-15
which, in turn, can boost the growth of the
manufacturing sector. Exports, which account
for 19% of the sales of the manufacturing
sector, are also expected to contribute to the
industrial growth in 2014-15. Export earnings
are expected to rise by 9.1% in US dollar terms
on weak rupee and pick-up in global economy.
The manufacturing sector is expected see a
turnaround in 2014-15, registering a 2.8%
growth, as against a 0.5% fall estimated for
2013-14. The electricity sector is expected
to maintain its growth rate at around 6% in
2014-15.
The services sector, which accounts for 60%
of the real GDP, is also expected to show an
improvement in growth to 7.3% in 2014-15
from 6.8% in 2013-14. The acceleration in
growth is expected to come from the trade,
hotels, transport, storage & communication
services sector. An improvement in the growth
of mining, manufacturing and construction
sectors is expected to have a cascading effect
on the performance of these services. The
growth of the sector is expected to accelerate
to 5.7% in 2014-15 from 4.4% in 2013-14.
It is estimated that the finance, real estate
& insurance services sector and the
community, social & personal services sector
will maintain the growth rate at around 11%
and 5.5%, respectively in 2014-15.
The HSBC Trade Confidence Index, the largest
trade confidence survey in the world, has
positioned India at the top with 142 points.
The increasing demand due to its population
makes the country a good market for
consumption goods, according to the report.
With a newly elected government in place,
Indian economy is expected to improve in
2014-15. The recovery will be calibrated,
although several sectors might see a jump
start. On the whole, there is improvement in
business confidence across the country and
good days for the economy are expected in
the near future.
INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE
India has over 10,500 manufacturing units
and over 3,000 pharma companies and exports
all forms of pharmaceuticals from APIs to
formulations, both in modern medicine and
traditional Indian medicines. Globally, India
ranks among the top exporters of formulations
by volume.
The country's exports of generics have been
growing at a rate of nearly 24% annually over
the past four years. As per 'Pharma Vision
2020', the Government of India aims to make
India a global leader in end-to-end drug
manufacturing epicenter, leveraging on the
fact that cost of production in India is
approximately 35% to 40% lower than in the
developed countries. The enormous
opportunity can be best illustrated from the
projected human resource requirement of the
Indian pharma sector, estimated to be about
2.15 million by 2020.
According to an estimate, India accounts for
35.7%, about 3,000 of the 8,374 Drug Master
Files filed with the USA, which is the highest
by any country outside of USA. Higher
commitment of resources and continuing
efforts of the industry participants in
conjunction with product patent cliff has
made India a major destination for generic
drug manufacturing. According to a recent
study, India has already been accredited with
907 CEPs, 845 TGA and 513 sites registered
with the US FDA.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 26
India is the third-largest exporter of drugs
to the United States by volume. In 2013-14,
at USD 14.84 billion (approximately `898
billion), the growth rate of India' s
pharmaceutical exports slowed sharply to just
1.2%. The near stagnation in growth is
because of import alerts and bans by US
regulators, a slowdown in the European Union
and increased competition.
Seen on a global perspective, compared to
other industries, over the past two years, the
pharmaceutical industry across the world
remained less impacted by the global
economic uncertainty in certain parts of the
world; yet, it would be appropriate to say
that the industry is facing pressure from
escalating costs and overwhelmed health
systems across the world. An overview of
recent sector performance shows that it is
favorably positioned to achieve success in
2014 and beyond.
Among the drivers for growth are an aging
population, rising incidence of chronic
diseases, technological advancements and
product innovation, and certain anticipated
impact from health care reform provisions
including increases in government funding
and insurance coverage. Opportunities in
emerging markets could continue to see
traction, although many companies are
looking more cautiously at these markets due
to slowing growth and other pressures.
Factors such as India's low cost of production
and strong R&D growth are the driving factors
in attracting global pharmaceutical
companies to India and at the same time,
the comparative cost advantage enhances
pharma exports. In fact, the rising global
demand for generic drugs is also playing an
important role in development of India as a
hub for generic drug manufacturing.
India holds over 10% share in the global
pharma production with over 60,000 generic
brands across 60 therapeutic categories and
manufacturing over 400 different active
pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). There is
no doubt on the growth potential of the
Indian pharma industry. In fact, a recent
Deloitte report added that Indian companies
can be expected to garner USD 40 billion in
sales as close to 46 US drug patents will
expire by 2015.
Globally, pharmaceuticals generated total
revenue of USD 959 billion in 2012, growing
2.4 percent from 2011 (considerably below
the 5.3% increase posted the year prior).
Oncology is the leading therapeutic class;
other focus areas include pain management,
hypertension, diabetes, mental health, and
respiratory ailments.
Recently, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu examined
common elements of the current wave of
global reform, national differences, and how
life sciences companies are reacting. Among
their key survey findings are:
Reducing costs, enhancing innovation
and improving market access are the
defining goals of health care reform.
Some countries are adopting value-
based pricing structures for life sciences
products, while others are combining
cost containment with assistance for
companies investing in R&D;
Main impact of reform eventually will
be on innovation and sales models;
Specific elements of reform vary by
country, requiring companies to have
national approaches. Policy changes are
predominantly shaped by specific
national contexts with elements that
are unique to their national systems;
Leading companies are remodeling their
innovation and sales activities in the
face of reforms. Companies are working
to change their innovation processes
and sales models to benefit from
opportunities arising from reforms.
Overall, cost containment is a common reform
objective in both developed and developing
markets; however, strategies vary. Most
national health care systems have been
encouraging greater use of generic drugs; in
the U.S., for example, the proportion of
prescriptions filled by generics has risen from
around 50 to 80% over the last decade. Brazil
is making branded generics and proprietary
drugs of greater interest to pharmaceutical
companies, and in China, recent reforms have
put intense pressure on the prices of all drugs,
including generic and over-the-counter (OTC)
medicines.
In another cost-containment approach,
Germany and several other countries have
turned to value-based pricing for new drugs,
which allows a price differential from existing
offerings - including generics - based on a
new product's demonstrated superiority.
Pharma exports from India will be more than
the size of the domestic sales by FY15,
according a recent report by India Ratings &
Research. While revising its outlook for the
sector for next fiscal to positive from stable
because of increased exports, the firm said
that the domestic pharma market is expected
to see high single digit revenue growth and
profit margins are expected to improve
because of increasing utilization of
manufacturing facilities.
As stated earlier, India is emerging as the
manufacturing hub of the global
pharmaceutical industry driven by large
labour force, skills and education, to become
a potent competitor to the developed
countries. According to PriceWaterhouse
Coopers, finished generics supplied from
India account for about 20% of the global
generic market by volumes. More than 90%
of WHO pre-qualified Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredients (ARV, Anti-tubercular and anti-
malarials) are sourced from India.
55% of India' s total pharma exports
amounting to USD 14.84 billion is shipped
to the highly regulated markets of the world,
including the US and EU countries. Japan too
holds a big potential for Indian pharma
sector.

Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 28
Besides conforming to cGMP and cGLP
due attention is given to safety, health
and environment aspects;
The Company has harnessed the latest
in communication technology - a
dedicated server for on-line data
processing, video conferencing, tele-
conferencing, etc. to ensure constant
communication throughout the life of
the project;
A right mix of instrumentation and
production expertise with due emphasis
on profiling, characterization of
compounds and reduction in impurities,
chiral resolution and impurity profiling
ensure the highest quality of
deliverables and yield optimization;
The manufacturing infrastructure, the
knowledge base at the research centers
and the ability to deal successfully with
its process chemistry strengths are the
forte of Aurobindo.
All the strengths have been tested from the
perspective plan to manufacturing plant and
later in the market place. There is a powerful
marketing infrastructure backed up by state-
of-the-art manufacturing systems that are
driving the business.
THREATS AND CHALLENGES
The pharmaceutical industry is highly
competitive and the challenges are from both
the Indian manufacturers who have similar
production facilities as well as those abroad.
Human resources with similar skills, talents
and experiences in the industry are mobile
between competing companies.
Price pressures are intense and are expected
to remain so. Going forward, there is a risk
of inability to maintain current margins on
its products. Price sensitivities get tested in
a crowded market where price tends to sag
while volume business gets done.
Competing pharmaceutical companies have
several similar bio-equivalent products in the
same market manufactured at facilities that
have been approved by the highest regulatory
authorities. All of them stay focused on the
same markets resulting in price elasticity
being tested and margins eroding.
Yet, it must be appreciated that Indian
manufacturers in general, and Aurobindo in
particular, have made an impact on the global
stage and have worked hard to get shelf
space. This threat does not affect Aurobindo,
because of its control over raw material
sourcing. The Company is a dominant player
in the active ingredients business and has
been able to control its quality, improve on
timelines, be competitive on its costs and
has the ability to deliver at short notice.
Pricing power i.e. the ability to price lower
and yet manage to get higher return on sales
than the competitors, is a potent strength.
This is a unique advantage that Aurobindo
enjoys over manufacturers across the world.
The Company has been timing its launches
to take advantage of products going off-
patent and the opportunities available in a
first-mover market. This strategy is built
around the in-house R&D capabilities,
technology strength in manufacturing
facilities and the marketing infrastructure.
Aurobindo has worked on its speed-to-market
abilities and is quick to convert product
approvals into invoices.
The scientists and professionals of Aurobindo
have been trained to create opportunities,
replicate the successes and drive business
growth. The Company has unmatched
strengths to cope with the challenges of the
market such as experienced staff with ability
to anticipate market needs, plan for product
launches with supportive documentation,
create products that meet regulatory norms
and execute plans within tight cost and time
budgets.
INTERNAL CONTROL
The professionally managed Company has
implemented Oracle based ERP which not only
adds to the controls, but has led to faster
information, analysis and improved decision
making.
Aurobindo has a well-defined internal control
system which is adequately monitored. Checks
and balances and control systems have been
established to ensure that assets are
safeguarded, utilized with proper
authorization and recorded in the books of
account.
There is a proper definition of roles and
responsibilities across the organization to
ensure information flow and monitoring.
These are supplemented by internal audit
carried out by a firm of Chartered
Accountants. The Company has an Audit
Committee consisting of three directors, all
of whom are independent. This Committee
reviews the internal audit reports, statutory
audit reports, the quarterly and annual
financial statements and discusses all
significant audit observations and follow up
actions arising from them.
HUMAN RESOURCES
Aurobindo Pharma has a team of over
9,500 professionals from 26 countries
working at its various divisions - API
manufacturing, formulation manufacturing,
chemical R&D, formulation R&D and overseas
operations. About 80% of these employees
are graduates, post graduates and PhDs.
The Company has recrafted its human
resource philosophy and put it into action
across the organization. In brief, they are
iterated below:
attract, build and retain right talent at
all levels;
create and nurture a performance
culture through continuous capability
building, performance measurement and
leveraging of IT;
foster leadership at all levels through
trust, empowerment and openness;
strengthen collaborative approach for
business excellence; and,
promote a vibrant work culture based
on innovation and to incentivize people
based on productivity/outstanding
performance.
In line with the HR philosophy, the emphasis
has been on the five critical dimensions of
people management:
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 29
Establishment of vibrant organizational
culture;
Talent attraction and retention;
Continuous capability building;
Recognition of outstanding
performance of the team/individuals;
and,
Staff welfare.
In order to keep pace with the changing
global business scenario, Aurobindo has taken
up various change management initiatives.
One of them is ' Aurobindo Achieving
Competitive Edge' or A2CE. This initiative has
created a forum to tap creative talent among
employees, bring significant improvement in
the form of high productivity and quality,
realize better asset utilization and manpower
deployment. Teams and individuals are
rewarded and recognized for project
deliverables and learning. A2CE reaches out
to Aurobindo employees through monthly
project reviews and a portal - a2ce.com - that
shares best practices with employees.
Another initiative is 'Mission Quality' which
aims to create and augment the quality
culture across the organization to assess our
staff and executives in quality standards
compliance and their commitment to quality.
An assessment based on key performance
indices and quality metrics has been carried
out at our Formulations unit to identify
Master Quality Leaders (MQL) who will
facilitate our quality initiatives across the
organization
Industrial relations continue to be cordial and
harmonious. The management has initiated
various measures such as formation of
bipartite forums and joint management
councils to promptly redress staff grievances
and to improve welfare amenities in the
plants. During the period under review, there
was no incident of work stoppage or loss of
production due to IR related issues.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Aurobindo's CSR charter covers the following
areas of activities:
Social welfare and
Education
Under the social welfare scheme, the Company
provides medical care and community service
activities such as provision of potable water
at nearby villages, provision of bore well
tanks and overhead tanks, laying of roads
connecting villages.
Under the education scheme, the Company
provides financial support and sponsors poor
but meritorious students to undergo various
courses and finances village schools to drive
education among the students of village
community members etc. The aim is to
provide relevant and useful education to
women and children in different locations
where Aurobindo is present. This program was
initiated to introduce non-academic
knowledge and skills of traditional trades in
the surrounding villages.
In line with the new statutory requirements,
a Board level CSR committee has been
constituted to evolve a suitable policy and
create a mechanism for implementing it as
per the laid down guidelines under the
Companies Act, 2013.
OUTLOOK
Pharmaceutical industry is faced with major
challenges but Aurobindo is part of product
segments that display growth. In a world that
is striving to achieve lower drug costs at
every level, production costs will continue
to remain a key measure. Aurobindo has a
good foundation of reliable sourcing and cost
effective manufacturing systems and is
exploring further ways of reducing costs and
strengthening competitiveness.
Sales are being ramped up across all the
geographies. This trend, as in the past, is
expected to continue with several new
launches as well as improving the existing
business. A further thrust is being given to
the Company's presence in Europe while
adding to the market share of the injectable
side of the business. In the case of the APIs,
the emphasis is to grow the high value
products, gain momentum in developed
markets and taper-off non-competitive
products.
Capacity utilization is improving at all
production units. Indeed, keeping the likely
requirement for growth in the generics
market, balancing equipment is being added
in API manufacturing facilities. The Company
has an enviable product basket with a large
portfolio of regulatory approvals. The focus
will be to continue to step up the volumes
of high value products, improve the reach in
the market while taking care to reduce overall
costs.
The Company will capitalize on its inherent
strengths, some of which are iterated below:
Cost effective vertically integrated
manufacturing systems;
Current Good Manufacturing Practices
(cGMP) and regulatory compliant
facilities producing high-quality APIs
and finished dosage formulations;
Best-in class, best-in-cost large
manufacturing capacity;
High visibility in API and generics;
Strong financial position with ability
to scale up;
Highly skilled professionals with
regulatory expertise and competent to
deliver on development, product
processes and regulatory standards;
Access to new technologies.
The corporate objectives are structured to
achieve enhanced shareholder value while
delivering what the customers want. An
increased thrust on combination drugs, in-
licensing initiatives, alliances with MNCs and
other measures such as enhanced focus on
injectables, OTCs, institutional segment as
well as focus on reaching direct to the
customers are some of the drivers for gaining
traction in enhancing revenues, EBITDA
margin and Return on Investment higher than
the industry average. The target is to stay
cash flow positive, lower the leverage, reduce
interest outgo and strive to expand earnings.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 30
Risks & their
management
As in any business, Aurobindo's
business too involves risks. Risk
management is an integral part of
the Company's plans, business
strategies, monitoring systems
and results. It takes in all
organizational processes geared to
early risk detection, identification
and timely implementation of
appropriate counter measures.
The Company has embedded risk
management activities in the
operational responsibilities of
management and made them an
integral part of overall
governance, organizational and
accountability structure.
At Aurobindo, risk is defined as
any contingency that has a
potential negative impact on
achieving business goals,
especially on earnings trends.
One of the priorities in the
Company's growth trajectory is
active risk management, building
further on the current successful
practices and learning from
experiences. It also provides the
basis to select risks that drive
value while proactively
mitigating, managing or
transferring risks that do not
create value.
OVERVIEW
Aurobindo Pharma, an integrated global
pharmaceutical company engaged in API and
formulations business segments, faces various
business risks just like any other business.
Such business risks are broadly categorized
into strategic, operational, financial and
compliance risks. Aurobindo believes that
there can be no growth or creation of value
in the Company without risk-taking, while
risks not properly managed can affect the
Company's ability to achieve its objectives.
Risk management system plays a key role in
directing the Company's activities within the
desired parameters.
The Company defines risks as events that have
the potential to negatively impact
achievement of objectives and anything that
would prevent the Company from achieving
its business objectives, including both
internally and externally driven, or due to
either action or inaction on the part of
Company.
Aurobindo has embedded and aligned risk
management system with every part of critical
business processes in order to systematically
ensure that processes are designed to achieve
strategic objectives and the business risks
are identified across the organisation in a
holistic manner rather than in silos.
RISK MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
At present, risk management structure at
Aurobindo comprises the Board of Directors
at the apex level, supported by the Managing
Director, business heads, functional heads,
and unit heads. As risk owners, these business
leaders are entrusted with the responsibility
of identification and monitoring of risks
which are discussed and deliberated at
various review meetings and actions are
drawn upon accordingly. The identified risks
along with action plans to mitigate them are
monitored regularly for effective business
performance and operational excellence.
RISK IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT
The risk management system involves fair
practice relating to identification,
assessment, mitigation and monitoring of all
critical risks in pharmaceutical industry which
would impact the achievement of key
business objectives. Key risks are being
identified and assessed function wise by
using fair practices and people have been
made accountable for monitoring and
managing the risks regularly.
Aurobindo identifies and evaluates several
risk factors and draws out appropriate
mitigations plans associated with the risks.
Aurobindo relentlessly endeavours not only
to minimise risks but convert them into
business opportunities that allow it to
maximise returns for shareholders from
diverse situations. The Company believes in
constant monitoring and decision-making to
balance risks and rewards to translate them
into an optimal solution between revenue
generating initiatives and risks taken.
ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
During the year, Aurobindo has taken the
initiative to design and implement a
structured and holistic Enterprise Risk
Management (ERM) framework which is based
on COSO ERM Framework, USA (Committee of
Sponsoring Organization of Treadway
Commission). The ERM Framework will be
rolled over in a phased manner across all key
business functions.
Business risks in Aurobindo
Some of the key existing and emerging risks
affecting Aurobindo's business are listed
below:
Economic and geopolitical risks
Economic and political instability resulting
from changes in foreign policies and political
leadershipin countries such as USA, Europe
and other countries where Aurobindo has
business presence could adversely affect the
Company's operations and revenues.
Aurobindo' s business is substantially
dependent on exports to USA, Europe and
the rest of the world (ROW) with a balanced
product basket that contains several
therapeutic segments and revenue breakup
of the Company is as given below:
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 31
About 65.3% of the Company's revenue
is generated from formulations and the
balance 34.7% is from active
pharmaceutical ingredients (API);
About 63% of formulations sales come
from USA, about 21% from Europe plus
ROW and the rest 16% comes from anti-
retroviral business segment.
The Company is taking adequate care to grow
in each of the product segments and is
striving to improve its presence through
acquisition of certain commercial operations
of Actavis Plc in Western Europe. The
acquisition will expand Aurobindo's front-end
operations into five segments (generics,
prescription products, over-the-counter
products, hospital products and generics
tenders) with approximately 1,250 dossiers
and an additional pipeline of over 200
products. Aurobindo has acquired personnel,
commercial infrastructure, products,
marketing authorisations and dossier licence
rights in seven European countries. Actavis
and Aurobindo have also entered into a long
term commercial and supply arrangement.
Efforts are being made to strengthen business
presence in potentially large markets such
as Japan, Brazil, South Africa, Canada,
Australia, North and West Africa and Middle
East. These initiatives would also help
consolidate Aurobindo' s volumes and
revenues over the long term, thereby
spreading the risk portfolio.
Instability in any one economy will not have
a major influence on the Company. Overall,
the healthcare industry is not price elastic
and is hence, reasonably insulated from
recession.
Competition risks
Aurobindo's products face intense competition
from products of other pharmaceutical
compani es i n Indi a and abroad and
introduction of new products by competitors
may impair the Company' s competitive
advantage and lead to erosion of revenues.
In the highly competitive pharmaceutical
market where major players are present, it is
difficult to improve market share and reduce
risks. But, Aurobindo has unique capabilities
to face competition from its peers. This risk
would not significantly impact the Company
owing to its integrated manufacturing
process and demonstrated operational
efficiencies all of which are designed to offer
products at competitive prices. For most of
its generic formulations, the Company has
captive manufacture of active ingredients to
ensure timely material availability, effective
cost control and focus on improving profit
margins.
New products continue to get introduced by
an experienced and talented R&D team which
works to deliver on the marketing strategy
by developing new processes/products to
meet customer needs and build market share.
Regulatory & compliance risks
The pharmaceutical industry is constantly
being challenged by a critical compliance risk
viz. to comply with rigorous regulatory
requirements and compliance is evolving from
an isolated departmental initiative to an
enterprise level risk management challenge.
Some of the competitors, especial l y
multinational pharmaceutical companies, have
greater experience in clinical testing and
human clinical trials of pharmaceutical
products and in obtaining regul atory
approvals. This could render Aurobindo's
technology and products uncompetitive or
restrict the Company's ability to introduce new
products thereby adversely impacting business.
Aurobindo has a talent pool of over 850
scientists, who have adequate experience in
handling complex chemistry and filing
applications with the regulatory authorities,
all of whom have helped Aurobindo receive a
total of 195 ANDA approvals from US FDA as
at March 31, 2014. Cumulative filings total
336.
Similarly, as on March 31, 2014, the team
has filed 2,435 DMFs including 190 with US
FDA. 561 patent applications have been filed
with various authorities.
Aurobindo is committed to supplying highest
quality medicines to customers for promoting
healthier life and always strives to conform
to regulatory standards and compliance
standards and meet stringent requirements
of customers to ensure the medicines provide
health care and wellness for the consumers.
The Company has put in place the necessary
systems to prevent any violations or
deviations. Robust quality systems and
control measures have been implemented to
ensure that the quality is ensured by process
design.
Aurobindo is striving to benchmark its
processes and systems as the best-in-class
and thereby provide reassurance to all
stakeholders. Every effort is being made to
ensure that there is no compromise on quality
of products and processes. Continuous
monitoring is being done by QC/QA team to
deliver highest quality products.
Pricing risks
Some of Aurobindo's products are subject to
price controls or other pressures on pricing.
The price controls limit the financial benefits
of growth in the life sciences market and the
introduction of new products.
Due to perfect competition in generic drug
industry, prices are a function of supply and
demand. Prices change in response to
supplies and competitive pressures. Domestic
pricing is also influenced by global trends in
both availability and price of imported active
ingredients. Some pharmaceutical companies
with noticeable presence in particular
segments having demand are able to
differentiate themselves and offer value
proposition. In some segments, pharma
players having good brand value have priced
the products appropriately. Aurobindo is able
to cope with pricing pressures and the focus
on quality assurance has minimized the
possibilities of commoditization. The in-
house R&D is striving to develop cost
effective products by redefining the
production process/facility.
Patent protection risks
Aurobindo's success depends on company's
ability in future to obtain patents, protect
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 32
trade secrets and other proprietary information
and operate without infringing on the
intellectual property rights of other pharma
companies.
Aurobindo has a dedicated team of scientists
whose primary task is to ensure that the
products are manufactured using only non-
infringing processes and related compliances
by reviewing and monitoring IPR issues
continuously.
As of March 31, 2014 the Company has filed
for 561 patents and has been granted 84 non-
infringing process patents. Aurobindo takes
adequate care to respect trade secrets, know-
how and other proprietary information and
ensure that the employees, vendors and
suppliers sign confidentiality agreements.
Market risks
Aurobindo is significantly dependent on US
market for its business. Failure to develop
profitable operations in that market could
adversely affect the Company's business,
operations and financial condition. This
scenario poses the risk of concentration and
dependence on one market.
In order to reduce the concentration risks,
the Company has been spreading its business
(Formulations and API) into European,
Australian and Japanese markets. Aurobindo
with its effective marketing strategy is also
increasing sales volumes for both the
businesses in existing markets and is making
regular efforts to widen geographical spread
by entering into high potential markets in
Lactam and ROI.
The Company has the right balance between
high margin-low volume products and low
margin-high volume products. The product
base also has been streamlined to have right
balance between various product groups.
Proper capacity management is a challenge
at Aurobindo and the Company has taken the
initiative for undertaking continuous capacity
expansions and regular monitoring of on-
going capital projects for their timely
completion. Production planning team at
Aurobindo monitors and utilises production
capacities at optimum levels with the support
of an effective marketing strategy along with
proper coordination and discussion with
production heads and supply chain head.
Currency fluctuation risk
Aurobindo is having high financial obligations
towards imports payments and ECB payments.
In an era of depreciating rupee against USD,
huge borrowings and imports will lead to high
exposure of currency risks. There is no hedging
of currencies. This could have an impact on
the Company's financial position.
Aurobindo is predominately an export
oriented company. Over 82% of the revenue
is from exports. At the same time, the
Company is having sizable imports/working
capital in foreign currency and long-term ECB
to fund the export oriented projects. As such,
the export proceeds provide the natural hedge
to the import and working capital in the
foreign exchange fluctuations. The Company
is conscious of impact on earnings in the
event of currency fluctuations. The forex
position is reviewed on a monthly basis by
the borrowing committee and quarterly by
the Board of Directors/Audit Committee.
Based on the decision of borrowing
committee, the treasury team would ensure
the execution of transactions for forward
cover.
People risks
Aurobindo's success depends largely upon an
effective HR strategy that includes recruitment,
succession pl anning and retention of
competent managerial personnel. The HR
strategy is linked and aligned to overall
business plan and growth of the Company.
Aurobindo faces considerable challenge in
complying with the various applicable statutes
and maintaining good industrial &employee
relations. Labour unrest could have an adverse
impact on the Company's operations. The
industry is human capital intensive with a high
rate of attrition and this could have an impact
on the Company's operations.
In order to meet the overall objectives of
the Company, the HR team has identified and
developed people with potential to fill key
business leadership positions. In addition,
the Company is also recruiting and building
a team of achievers with proper leadership
training.
Aurobindo has been fine tuning its HR
strategy in order to meet business
requirement and future growth. Second-in-
command in each key function and
decentralised management style has
developed a much stronger organization
culture.
There is a proactive approach to HR
management, and at Aurobindo, employees
are given responsibility with authority.
Emphasis is on accountability with clear job
descriptions and the employees are
encouraged to raise the bar and perform to
their potential. The professional approach in
day-to-day management has enabled the
employees to stay motivated. Continuous and
consistent structured interactions and
communications help the personnel update
and upgrade their knowledge and skills and
help minimize the operational risks. ERP
aided monitoring and supervisory controls are
in place to mitigate compliance risks.
The HR team has developed an effective
employee performance appraisal program to
measure work performance as compared to
job expectations. They strive to ensure that
annual performance assessments are
conducted effectively with necessary
feedback and counselling.
The employee attrition in the Company is
lower than the industry average.
Industrial relations (IR) team is making
continuous efforts to maintain a cordial
relationship with employees with a view to
achieve optimal performance from the
employees.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Your Company has delivered satisfactory
results despite several challenges including
rising costs, severe competitive pressures and
sluggishness in customer countries. We are
pleased to report that market conditions for
your Company's products were better exploited
with focused investments in the markets and
products supplemented by significant first-
to-launch advantages. Your Company
continued to invest to add to its market
presence for existing products, widen the
geographical reach both within US and Europe,
position new products by adding to shelf
space, convert product approvals into invoices
by reducing the time-to-market and rationalize
on low value offers.
Team Aurobindo focused on continued growth
within boundaries of its business plan.
Initiatives were carefully planned in new
products and investments were made in to
prioritized growth markets. The year' s
performance demonstrates Aurobindo' s
strength in the injectables segment, successful
introduction of new products in the developed
markets, emphasis on cost competitiveness
benefiting from the structured integrated
business model, and the ability to seize the
opportunities in a highly competitive market.
There was a more positive momentum in a
number of high value products and the teams
are presently striving to ensure sustained
growth quarter-on-quarter.
The consolidated revenue (net) from
operations was higher over the previous year
by 38.3% at `80,997.9 million in the year
under review as against `58,553.2 million in
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 38
the previous year. The formulation and API
ratio during the year was 65:35. Consolidated
net profit is `11,728.5 million, a significant
growth over `2,938.6 million reported in the
previous year. Your Company delivered
earnings per share of `40.2 as against `10.1
in the previous year.
Gross revenue from formulation during the year
was `53,785 million, 58.8% higher on a year-
on-year basis as compared to `33,872 million
reported in 2012-13. Your Company strived
to increase its share of high value products
and special efforts were made to build
relationships in the developed markets. API
revenues for the year under review were
`28,642 million, a growth of 12.9% over the
previous year, on account of favorable demand
scenario as well as focused efforts at
enhancing product realizations.
EBITDA at the consolidated level for the year
was `21,552.1 million, which is 26.6% of
consolidated revenue (net), and has gone up
by 142.3% over 2012-13. Profitability during
the year under review has improved due to
better sales and business mix which had
favorable impact on material consumption to
net sales. Cost of materials for the year under
review was 44.5% of consolidated revenue (net)
in comparison to 51.1% in the previous year.
As far as foreign exchange is concerned, the
closing rupee dollar rate was `59.915 on
March 31, 2014 while it was `54.285 on
March 31, 2013. The rupee has been highly
volatile through the year and has depreciated
by 10.4% during the financial year. This has
resulted in a net exchange loss of `2,030.5
million during the year which includes an
amount of `2,022.2 million on borrowings
adjusted to finance charges as per revised
Schedule VI of the Companies Act, 1956.
Europe and the rest of the world geographies
recorded a sale of `11,355 million, thereby
growing at 28.4% over the previous year, and
in ARV formulation sales by 12% to `8,402
million. As in the previous year, strategic
action was taken to be selective in building
products and markets that contribute to the
bottom line.
In terms of segmental contribution to the
formulations revenue, the share of US was
63.2% against 51.7% in the previous year.
Similarly, European as well as the rest of the
world was 21.2% against 26.2% and ARV was
15.6% against 22.1% in the previous year.
The segmental shift in both API and
formulations is reflective of your Company's
efforts to improve margins and this trend is
expected to continue.
In generic markets of US, UK, Germany, Spain,
France and Netherlands, your Company is
progressing well. Additional thrust to raise
the marketing presence and gain margin is
ongoing in countries such as Japan, Portugal
and Italy. Focused efforts were made during
the year to improve bottomline, even as
progress was made to expand markets.
In the formulation business, your Company
identifies and secures success by market
adapted product development together with
quick and effective commercializing of new
launches. Aurobindo has had a significant
success in its new launches, especially in the
US. The priority has been to optimize the
portfolio and capitalize on the opportunities
for our product offering. Efforts were made to
increase market share and leverage existing
relationships. Aggressive positions were taken
in preparations for new launches. Aurobindo
today has a balanced portfolio withvisibility
for clearly defined plan to climb the value
chain.
Your Company has completed acquisition of
certain commercial operations in Western
Europe from Actavis plc. Aurobindo acquired
personnel, commercial infrastructure,
products, marketing authorizations and dossier
licence rights in seven European countries.
Actavis and your Company have also entered
into a mutually beneficial long-term
commercial and supply arrangement which
envisages collaboration with Actavis to ensure
business continuity and a smooth transition.
Following receipt of clearances from
competent authorities, your Company intends
to combine the strength of both enterprises
(including its vertically integrated platform
and existing commercial infrastructure) in
these markets and to identify and maximise
all opportunities to improve the Company's
performance. Your Company with its inherent
cost competitiveness and group structure
would build on Actavis' strong market position
in the West European countries and strive to
become a significant generics player in Europe.
Your Company will position itself as one of
the leading Indian pharmaceutical companies
in Europe and strive to achieve a critical mass
in Western Europe with a top 10 position in
several key markets. The objective is to expand
the front-end operations into five segments
(generics, prescription products, over-the-
counter products, hospital products and
generics tenders) with approximately 1,250
dossiers and an additional pipeline of over
200 products.The efforts are on to achieve a
rapid and successful integration.
Aurobindo has a clear commitment to creating
value for all its stakeholders. Your Company
has the strategies and core strengths required
to expand the market, scale and efficiencies
to leverage product portfolio globally and
enhance the profitability.
OUTLOOK
Aurobindo is building momentum on its way
to become one of the world's leading generic
pharmaceutical companies. The efforts of the

the needs of markets coping with spiraling
healthcare cost. Actions to improve the
operational efficiencies, especially in the area
of supply chain are expected to support
profitability and cash flow going forward.
Every effort now is to sustain the momentum
to become a stake holder friendly company
that meets customer expectations, grows to
be a preferred employer, and expands earnings
while it enhances shareholder value.

The Members of
Aurobindo Pharma Limited
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of
Aurobindo Pharma Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2014, and the Statement of Profit
and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in India, including
the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956,
read with General Circular 8/2014 dated April 4, 2014 issued by
the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. This responsibility includes the
design, implementation and maintenance of internal control
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that
we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal
control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according
to the explanations given to us, the financial statements give the
information required by the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") in
the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

Company as at March 31, 2014;
b. in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the profit
for the year ended on that date; and
c. in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for
the year ended on that date.

("the Order") issued by the Central Government of India in
terms of sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Act, we give

Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 65
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in India (Indian GAAP) under the historical cost convention
on accrual basis to comply in all material respects with
the notified Accounting Standards by the Companies
Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 (as amended), other
pronouncements of the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act,
1956. The accounting policies have been consistently
applied by the Company and are consistent with those
used in the previous year except as disclosed in (b) below.
b. Change in accounting policy
With effect from April 1, 2013, the Company has changed
its method of valuation of inventory of raw materials,
packing materials, stores, spares and consumables from
the earlier method i.e. First-In-First-Out basis (FIFO) to
weighted average method for implementation of Enterprise
Resource Planning in Oracle. Accordingly, this has resulted
in decrease in inventory as at March 31, 2014 by `22.4
and decrease in profit before tax for the year ended
March 31, 2014 by `22.4.
c. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
Indian GAAP requires the management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the results of operations during
the reporting year. Although these estimates are based
upon management’s best knowledge of current events and
actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.
d. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable
that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and
the revenue can be reliably measured.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized on dispatch (in
respect of exports on the date of the bill of lading or
airway bill) which coincides with transfer of significant
risks and rewards to customer and is net of trade discounts,
sales returns and sales tax, where applicable and recognized
based on the terms of the agreements entered into with
the customers. Excise duty deducted from revenue (gross)
is the amount that is included in revenue (gross) and not
the entire amount of liability arising during the year.
Revenue from sale of dossiers/licenses/services is
recognized in accordance with the terms of the relevant
agreements as accepted and agreed with the customers.
Interest is recognized on a time proportion basis taking
into account the amount outstanding and the rate
applicable.
Dividend is recognized as and when the Company’s right
to receive payment is established by the reporting date.
Notes to financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014
(All amounts in Indian Rupees million, except share data and where otherwise stated)
e. Fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation, impairment losses and specific grant/
subsidies, if any. Cost comprise of purchase price, freight,
non-refundable taxes and duties and any attributable cost
of bringing the asset to its working condition for its
intended use. Borrowing costs relating to acquisition of
fixed assets which take substantial period of time to get
ready for use are included to the extent they relate to the
period till such assets are ready for intended use. All other
borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
Expenditure directly relating to construction activity is
capitalized. Indirect expenditure is capitalized to the extent
those relate to the construction activity or is incidental
thereto. Income earned during construction period is
deducted from the total expenditure relating to
construction activity.
Assets retired from active use and held for disposal are
stated at their estimated net realizable values or net book
values, whichever is lower.
Assets under finance leases, where there is no reasonable
certainty that the Company will obtain the ownership by
the end of the lease term are capitalized and are depreciated
over the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset or
useful life envisaged in Schedule XIV of the Companies
Act, 1956 whichever is shorter.
Premium paid on leasehold land is amortized over the lease
term.
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method, based
on the useful life of the assets as estimated by the
management which generally coincides with rates
prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956
except assets acquired at the Bhiwadi unit in Rajasthan
for which depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis,
at the rates that are higher than those specified in Schedule
XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 and are based on useful
lives as estimated by management. In these cases the rates
are as under:
Leasehold buildings : 5%
Plant & machinery : 20%
Assets costing upto `5,000 (Rupees Five thousand only)
are depreciated fully in the year of purchase.
f. Intangibles
Cost relating to licenses, which are acquired, are capitalized
and amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful
life not exceeding ten years. Research costs are expensed
as incurred. Development expenditure incurred in respect
of internally generated intangible assets such as product
development is carried forward when the future
recoverability can reasonably be regarded as assured.
g. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance
sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based
on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 66
recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount
is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and its value
in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future
cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and risks specific
to the asset.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised
carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful
life.
h. Government grants and subsidies
Grants and subsidies are recognized when there is a
reasonable assurance that the grant or subsidy will be
received and that all underlying conditions thereto will be
complied with. When the grant or subsidy relates to an
asset, its value is deducted in arriving at the carrying
amount of the related asset.
i. Investments
Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be
held for not more than one year from the date on which
such investments are made, are classified as current
investments. All other investments are classified as long
term investments. Current investments are carried at lower
of cost and fair value determined on individual investment
basis.
Long-term investments are carried at cost. However,
diminution in value is provided to recognize a decline,
other than temporary, in the value of the investments.
j. Inventories
Raw materials, packing materials, stores, spares and
consumables are valued at lower of cost, calculated on
'Weighted average' basis and net realizable value. Items
held for use in the production of inventories are not written
down below cost if the finished product in which these
will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above
cost.
Finished goods and work-in-progress are valued at lower
of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes materials,
labour and a proportion of appropriate overheads based
on normal operating capacity. Cost of finished goods
includes excise duty. Cost is determined on a weighted
average basis.
Trading goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable
value. Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition. Cost is determined on a 'Weighted
average' basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, reduced by the estimated costs
of completion and costs to effect the sale.
k. Employee benefits
Employee benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined
contribution scheme and the contributions are charged to
the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year of which the
Notes to financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014
(All amounts in Indian Rupees million, except share data and where otherwise stated)
contributions to the respective funds are due. There are
no other obligations other than the contribution payable
to the respective authorities.
Gratuity is a defined benefit obligation and is provided for
on the basis of an actuarial valuation on project unit credit
method made at the end of each financial year.
Short-term compensated absences are provided for based
on estimates. Long-term compensated absences are
provided for based on actuarial valuation. The actuarial
valuation is done as per projected unit credit method at
the end of each financial year.
Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to Statement
of Profit and Loss and are not deferred.
The Company presents the entire leave as a current liability
in the Balance Sheet, since it does not have an
unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months
after the reporting date.
l. Income taxes
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current
income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid
to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax
Act, 1961. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of
current year timing differences between taxable income
and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing
differences of earlier years.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the
tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance
Sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the
extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient
future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized.
In the situations where the Company is entitled to tax
holiday under Income Tax Act, 1961, no deferred tax is
recognized in respect of timing differences which reverse
during the tax holiday period, to the extent Company's
gross total income is subject to the deduction during the
tax holiday period. Deferred tax in respect of timing
differences which reverse after the tax holiday period is
recognized in the year in which timing difference originate.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets of earlier years are re-
assessed and recognized to the extent that it has become
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be
that future taxable income will be available against which
such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at
each Balance Sheet date. The Company writes-down the
carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that
it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as
the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will
be available against which deferred tax asset can be
realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent
that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as
the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will
be available.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to
the Statement of Profit and Loss as current tax. The
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 67
Company recognizes MAT credit available as an asset only
to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the
Company will pay normal income tax during the specified
period, i.e. the period for which MAT credit is allowed to
be carried forward. In the year in which the company
recognizes MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the
Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available in respect
of Minimum Alternative Tax under the Income Tax Act,
1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the
Statement of Profit and Loss and shown as 'MAT Credit
Entitlement.' The Company reviews the 'MAT credit
entitlement' asset at each reporting date and writes down
the asset to the extent the Company does not have
convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the
specified period.
m. Foreign exchange transactions
Initial recognition: Foreign currency transactions are
recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the
foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the
reporting currency and foreign currency at the date of the
transaction.
Conversion: Foreign currency monetary items are reported
at year-end rates. Non-monetary items which are carried
in terms of historical cost denominated in foreign currency
are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the
transaction.
Exchange differences: Exchange differences arising on the
settlement of monetary items or on reporting monetary
items of Company at rates different from those at which
they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in
previous financial statements, are recognized as income
or as expenses in the year in which they arise.
n. Export benefits, incentives and licenses
Export benefits on account of duty drawback and export
promotion schemes are accrued and accounted in the year
of export, and are included in other operating revenue.
Other benefits in the form of advance authorisation for
imports are accounted for on purchase of imported
materials.
o. Leases
Where the Company is lessee
Finance leases, where the substantial risks and benefits
incidental to ownership of the leased items are transferred
to the Company, are capitalized at the lower of the fair
value and present value of the minimum lease payments
at the inception of the lease term and disclosed as leased
assets. Lease payments are apportioned between the
finance charges and reduction of the lease liability based
on the implicit rate of return. Finance charges are charged
directly against income. Lease management fees, legal
charges and other initial direct costs are capitalized.
Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially
all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item
are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments
are recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit
and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Notes to financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014
(All amounts in Indian Rupees million, except share data and where otherwise stated)
p. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net
profit for the year attributable to equity shareholders by
the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share,
the net profit for the year attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the
effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
q. Provisions
A provision is recognized when the company has a present
obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions
are not discounted to their present value and are
determined based on the best estimate required to settle
the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are
reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect
the current best estimates.
r. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statements
comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term
investments with an original maturity of three months or
less.
s. Employee Stock Compensation Cost
Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based
payment plans is done in accordance with SEBI (Employee
Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme)
Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance Note on Accounting
for Employee Share Based Payments Plans, issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company
measures compensation cost relating to employee stock
options using the intrinsic value method. Compensation
expense, if any, is amortized over the vesting period of
the option on a straight line basis.
t. Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is possible obligation that arises
from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events beyond the control of Company or a present
obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely
rare cases where there is a liability that can not be
recognized because it can not be measure reliably. The
Company does not recognize the contingent liability but
discloses its existence in the financial statements.
u. Borrowing cost
Borrowing cost includes interest incurred in connection
with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange
differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to
the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the
interest cost.

Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 100
The Board of Directors of
Aurobindo Pharma Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements
of Aurobindo Pharma Limited ("the Company"), its subsidiaries and
joint venture, which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at
March 31, 2014, and the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss
and the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended,
and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial
Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated
financial position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated
cash flows of the Company in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we
comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and
presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a
true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An
audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
the explanations given to us, the consolidated financial statements
give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India:
a. in the case of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of the state of
affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2014;
b. in the case of the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, of
the profit for the year ended on that date; and
c. in the case of the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, of the
cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Other Matter
We did not audit total assets of `34,072,945,289 as at March 31,
2014, total revenues of `33,629,814,016 and net cash inflows
amounting to `769,693,455 for the year then ended, included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements in respect of certain
subsidiaries and joint venture, whose financial statements and other
financial information have been audited by other auditors and whose
reports have been furnished to us. Our opinion, in so far as it relates
to the affairs of such subsidiaries and joint venture is based solely on
the report of other auditors. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of
this matter.

joint venture entities (collectively termed as 'the Group' or 'the Consolidated Entities') are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP) under the historical cost convention on accrual basis to comply in all material
respects with the mandatory Accounting Standards ('AS') notified by Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 (as amended),
other pronouncements of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 using
uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented to the extent possible
in the same manner as the Company's separate financial statements. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the
Company and are consistent with those used in the previous year, except as disclosed in (b) below.
Investments in subsidiaries, except where investments are acquired exclusively with a view to its subsequent disposal in the immediate
near future, are accounted in accordance with accounting principles as defined under AS 21 'Consolidated Financial Statements' on a
line by line basis. Investments in joint venture has been accounted using proportionate consolidation method as per AS 27 'Financial
Reporting of Interests in Joint Ventures'.
All material inter-company balances and inter-company transactions and resulting unrealized profits or losses are eliminated on
consolidation.

Minorities’ interest in net profits of consolidated subsidiaries for the year is identified and adjusted against the income in order to
arrive at the net income attributable to the shareholders of the Group. Their share of net assets is identified and presented in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet separately. Where accumulated losses attributable to the minorities are in excess of their equity in the
absence of the contractual obligation on the minorities, the same are accounted for by the Group.
The financial statements of the entities used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to same reporting date as that of the
parent company i.e. year ended March 31, 2014.

b. Change in accounting policy
With effect from April 1, 2013, the Group has changed its
method of valuation of inventory of raw materials, packing
materials, stores, spares and consumables from the earlier
method i.e. First-In-First-Out basis (FIFO) to weighted
average method for implementation of Enterprise Resource
Planning in Oracle. Accordingly, this has resulted in
decrease in inventory as at March 31, 2014 by `91.1 and
decrease in consolidated profit before tax for the year ended
March 31, 2014 by `91.8.
c. Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in
conformity with Indian GAAP requires the management to
make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at
the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
results of operations during the reporting period. Although
these estimates are based upon management’s best
knowledge of current events and actions, actual results
could differ from these estimates.
d. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable
that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the
revenue can be reliably measured.
i. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised on dispatch
(in respect of exports on the date of the bill of lading
or airway bill) which coincides with transfer of
significant risks and rewards to customer and is net
of trade discounts, sales returns and sales tax, where
applicable and recognized based on the terms of the
agreements entered into with the customers. Excise
duty deducted from revenue (gross) is the amount
that is included in revenue (gross) and not the entire
amount of liability arising during the year.
ii. Revenue from sale of dossiers/licenses/services is
recognized in accordance with the terms of the
relevant agreements as accepted and agreed with the
customers.
iii. Interest is recognised on a time proportion basis
taking into account the amount outstanding and the
rate applicable.
iv. Dividend is recognized as and when the Group’s right
to receive payment is established by the reporting
date.
e. Fixed assets and depreciation
i. Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation, impairment losses and specific grant/
subsidies, if any. Cost comprise of purchase price,
freight, non refundable taxes and duties and any
attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working
condition for its intended use. Borrowing costs
relating to acquisition of fixed assets which take
substantial period of time to get ready for use are
included to the extent they relate to the period till
such assets are ready for intended use. All other
borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
ii. Expenditure directly relating to construction activity
is capitalised. Indirect expenditure is capitalised to
the extent those relate to the construction activity
or is incidental thereto. Income earned during
construction period is deducted from the total
expenditure relating to construction activity.
iii. Assets retired from active use and held for disposal
are stated at their estimated net realisable values or
net book values, whichever is lower.
iv. Assets under finance leases, where there is no
reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain the
ownership by the end of the lease term are capitalised
and are depreciated over the lease term or estimated
useful life of the asset or useful life envisaged in
Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 whichever
is shorter.
v. Premium paid on leasehold land is amortised over
the lease term.
vi. Fixed assets of overseas subsidiaries and overseas
joint venture entities are depreciated over the
estimated useful lives using the 'Straight Line
Method'.
vii. Depreciation on assets other than specified above is
provided on the straight-line method, based on the
useful life of the assets as estimated by the
management which generally coincides with rates
prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act,
1956 except assets acquired at the Bhiwadi unit in
Rajasthan for which depreciation is provided on a
straight-line basis, at the rates that are higher than
those specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies
Act, 1956 and are based on useful lives as estimated
by management. In these cases the rates are as under:
Leasehold building : 5%
Plant and machinery : 20%
viii. Assets costing below `5,000 (Rupees Five thousand
only) are depreciated fully in the year of purchase.
f. Intangibles
Intangible assets consists of goodwill, computer software,
licenses, patents and product development costs.
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase consideration
over the net book value of assets acquired of the subsidiary
companies as on the date of investment. Goodwill is not
amortized but is tested for impairment on a periodic basis
and impairment losses are recognized where applicable.
Computer software license cost is expensed in the year of
purchase as there is no expected future economic benefit.
Cost relating to licenses and patents which are acquired,
(All amounts in Indian Rupees million, except share data and where otherwise stated)
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 108
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2014
are capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over
their useful life not exceeding ten years.
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development
expenditure incurred in respect of internally generated
intangible assets such as product development is carried
forward when the future recoverability can reasonably be
regarded as assured. Any expenditure carried forward is
amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of
expected future economic benefit from the related project,
not exceeding ten years.
The carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed for
impairment annually when the asset is not available for
use, and otherwise when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
g. Impairment of tangibles and intangible assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance
sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based
on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is
recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount
is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and its value
in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future
cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and risks specific
to the asset.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised
carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
h. Government grants and subsidies
Grants and subsidies are recognised when there is a
reasonable assurance that the grant or subsidy will be
received and that all underlying conditions thereto will be
complied with. When the grant or subsidy relates to an
asset, its value is deducted in arriving at the carrying
amount of the related asset.
i. Investments
i. Investments that are readily realisable and intended
to be held for not more than one year from the date
on which such investments are made, are classified
as current investments. All other investments are
classified as long term investments. Current
investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value
determined on individual investment basis.
ii. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However,
diminution in value is provided to recognise a decline,
other than temporary, in the value of the investments.
j. Inventories
i. Raw materials, packing materials, stores, spares and
consumables are valued at lower of cost, calculated
on 'Weighted average' basis, and net realizable value.
Items held for use in the production of inventories
are not written down below cost if the finished
product in which these will be incorporated are
expected to be sold at or above cost.
ii. Finished goods and work-in-progress are valued at
lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes
materials, labour and a proportion of appropriate
overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost
of finished goods includes excise duty. Cost is
determined on a weighted average basis.
iii. Trading goods are valued at lower of cost and net
realizable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and
other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present location and condition. Cost is
determined on a 'Weighted average' basis.
iv. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in
the ordinary course of business, reduced by the
estimated costs of completion and costs to effect
the sale.
k. Employee benefits
i. Employee benefits in the form of provident fund is a
defined contribution scheme and the contributions
are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit
and Loss in the year of which the contributions to
the respective funds are due. There are no other
obligations other than the contribution payable to
the respective authorities.
ii. The group's contribution towards defined contribution
benefit plan is accrued in compliance with the
requirements of the domestic laws of the countries
in which the consolidated entities operate in the year
of which the contributions are due.
iii. Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and
is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation
on project unit credit method made at the end of
each financial year.
iv. Short-term compensated absences are provided for
based on estimates. Long-term compensated absences
are provided for based on actuarial valuation. The
actuarial valuation is done as per projected unit credit
method at the end of each financial year.
v. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and are
not deferred.
vi. The Group presents the entire leave as a current
liability in the balance sheet, since it does not have
an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12
months after the reporting date.
l. Income taxes
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current
income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid
to the tax authorities in accordance with the domestic tax
laws of the countries in which the consolidated entities
operate. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of current
year timing differences between taxable income and
accounting income for the year and reversal of timing
differences of earlier years.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 109
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the
tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance
sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the
extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient
future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where
the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward
tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognized only if
there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence
that they can be realised against future taxable profits.
In the situations where the Group is entitled to tax holiday
under Income Tax Act, 1961 no deferred tax is recognized
in respect of timing differences which reverse during the
tax holiday period, to the extent Company's gross total
income is subject to the deduction during the tax holiday
period. Deferred tax in respect of timing differences which
reverse after the tax holiday period is recognized in the
year in which timing difference originate.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets of earlier years are re-
assessed and recognized to the extent that it has become
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be
that future taxable income will be available against which
such deferred tax assets can be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities pertaining to
consolidated entities are not set off against each other as
the Group does not have a legal right to do so.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed
at each balance sheet date. The Group writes-down the
carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that
it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as
the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income
will be available against which deferred tax asset can be
realised. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent
that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as
the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income
will be available.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to
the consolidated statement of profit and loss as current
tax. The Company recognizes MAT credit available as an
asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence
that the Company will pay normal income tax during the
specified period, i.e. the period for which MAT credit is
allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the
Company recognizes MAT credit as an asset in accordance
with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available
in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the Income
Tax Act, 1961 the said asset is created by way of credit to
the consolidated statement of profit and loss and shown
as 'MAT Credit Entitlement.' The Company reviews the 'MAT
credit entitlement' asset at each reporting date and writes
down the asset to the extent the Company does not have
convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during
the specified period.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2014
m. Foreign exchange transactions
Initial recognition
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting
currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the
exchange rate between the reporting currency and foreign
currency at the date of the transaction.
Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are reported at year-end
rates. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of
historical cost denominated in foreign currency are reported
using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary
items or on reporting monetary items of Company at rates
different from those at which they were initially recorded
during the year, or reported in previous financial
statements, are recognized as income or as expenses in
the year in which they arise.
n. Translation of integral and non-integral foreign
operation
In accordance with the accounting principles as prescribed
under the AS 11 (Revised) and based on the analysis of
relevant criteria, as explained below, the Group has
designated the operations of following overseas
consolidated entities viz Aurobindo Pharma Industria
Farmaceutica Limiteda; APL Pharma Thai Limited; Helix
Healthcare B.V.; Auro Pharma Inc.; Aurobindo Pharma (Pty)
Limited; Aurobindo Switzerland AG; Aurobindo Pharma
(Australia) Pty Limited; Auro Healthcare (Nigeria) Limited;
Agile Pharma B.V.; Aurobindo Pharma Produtos
Farmaceuticos Ltda; All Pharma (Shanghai) Trading
Company Limited; APL Holdings (Jersey) Limited; Aurobindo
Pharma Japan K.K.; Agile Malta Holdings Limited; Agile
Pharma (Malta) Limited; Laboratorios Aurobindo S. L.;
Aurobindo Pharma (Italia) S.r.l.; Aurobindo Pharma
(Portugal) Unipessoal Lda; Aurobindo Pharma France SARL;
Aurobindo Pharma GmbH; Aurobindo ILAC Sanayi ve Ticaret
Limited Sirketi; Novagen Pharma (Pty) Limited; Aurobindo
Pharma (Singapore) Pte Limited; Aurobindo Pharma B.V.;
Aurobindo Pharma (Romania) s.r.l.; Aurobindo Pharma
(Poland) Sp.z.o.o.; Aurobindo Pharma Limited, s.r.l.;
Aurovida Farmaceutica S.A. de C.V.; Aurobindo Pharma NZ
Limited, Aurobindo Pharma Colombia S. A. S. and Aurovitas,
Unipessoal Lda, as 'integral foreign operations':
a. These foreign operations are under the direct
supervision and control of the parent company’s
management;
b. There are high proportions of inter-company
transactions;
c. These foreign operations are mainly financed by the
parent company; and
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 110
d. Cash flows of these foreign operations have direct
impact on the cash flows of the parent company.
The financial statements of an integral foreign operation
are translated as if the transactions of the foreign operation
have been those of the parent company itself.
In translating the financial statements of a non-integral
foreign operation for incorporation in consolidated financial
statements, the assets and liabilities, both monetary and
non-monetary, of the non-integral foreign operation are
translated at the closing rate; income and expense items
of the non-integral foreign operation are translated using
average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting
period. All resulting exchange differences are accumulated
in a foreign currency translation reserve until the disposal
of the net investment.
On the disposal/closure of a non-integral foreign operation,
the cumulative amount of the exchange differences which
have been deferred and which relate to that operation are
recognized as income or as expenses in the same period in
which the gain or loss on disposal is recognized.
When there is a change in the classification of a foreign
operation, the translation procedures applicable to the
revised classification are applied from the date of the
change in the classification.
o. Export benefits, incentives and licenses
Export benefits on account of duty drawback and export
promotion schemes are accrued and accounted in the year
of export, and are included in other operating revenue.
Other benefits in the form of advance authorisation for
imports are accounted for on purchase of imported
materials.
p. Leases
Where the Group is lessee
Finance leases, where the substantial risks and benefits
incidental to ownership of the leased items are transferred
to the Group, are capitalized at the lower of the fair value
and present value of the minimum lease payments at the
inception of the lease term and disclosed as leased assets.
Lease payments are apportioned between the finance
charges and reduction of the lease liability based on the
implicit rate of return. Finance charges are charged directly
against income. Lease management fees, legal charges and
other initial direct costs are capitalized.
Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially
all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item
are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments
are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement
of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
q. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net
consolidated profit for the year attributable to equity
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2014
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share,
the net consolidated profit for the year attributable to
equity shareholders and the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the
effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
r. Provisions
A provision is recognised when the Group has a present
obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that
an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be
made. Provisions are not discounted to its present value
and are determined based on best estimate required to
settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are
reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect
the current best estimates.
s. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statements
comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term
investments with an original maturity of three months or
less.
t. Employee stock compensation cost
Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based
payment plans is done in accordance with SEBI (Employee
Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme)
Guidelines, 1999 and Guidance Note on Accounting for
Employee Share Based Payment Plans, issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The Group
measures compensation cost relating to employee stock
options using the intrinsic value method. Compensation
expense if any, is amortized over the vesting period of the
option on a straight line basis.
u. Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is possible obligation that arises
from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events beyond the control of Group or a present
obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely
rare cases where there is a liability that can not be
recognized because it can not be measured reliably. The
Group does not recognize the contingent liability but
discloses its existence in the consolidated financial
statements.
v. Borrowing cost
Borrowing cost includes interest incurred in connection
with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange
differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to
the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the
interest cost.

30. The income tax authorities had carried out search operations on the Company at certain locations in February 2012. The Company has fully
co-operated with the authorities and various statements were recorded during the course of these operations. In order to avoid possible
litigations, without admitting any irregularities, the Company had decided to offer an additional income and to pay the resultant tax.
Accordingly, provision for income tax of `48.7 on this additional income had been made during the year 2011-12. The proceedings are in
progress and no other material implications are expected by the management in this matter.
31. Employee stock options
a. Employee Stock Option Plan 'ESOP-2006'
The parent company instituted an Employee Stock Option Plan 'ESOP-2006' as per the special resolution passed in the 19th Annual
General Meeting held on September 18, 2006. This scheme has been formulated in accordance with the Securities Exchange Board of
India (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999. The compensation committee accordingly,
granted total 3,240,500 options under seven grants of 175,000; 25,000; 90,000; 1,205,000; 300,000; 500,000; 915,500 and 30,000
options to eligible employees on October 30, 2006; July 31, 2007; October 31, 2007; December 16, 2011; June 19, 2012; January 9,
2013; January 28, 2013 and August 9, 2013 respectively. The method of settlement under scheme is by issue of equity shares of the
parent company. Each option comprises of one underlying equity share of `1 each. The said options vest on an annual basis at 10%,
15%, 25% and 50% over a period of four years and can be exercised over a period of six years from the date of grant of options. The
options have been granted at the then prevailing market price of `120.70, `132.35, `114.50, `91.60, `106.05, `200.70, `187.40 and
`161.30 per share respectively and hence the question of accounting for employee deferred compensation expenses does not arise as
the parent company follows intrinsic value method.

44. Segment information
a. Identification of reportable segments
Segments are identified in line with AS 17 'Segment Reporting', taking into consideration the internal organisation and management
structure as well as the differential risk and returns of the segment.
Based on the Group’s business model of vertical integration, pharmaceuticals have been considered as the only reportable business
segment and hence no separate financial disclosures provided in respect of its single business segment.
Operations of the Group are managed from independent locations, which are located in different geographical locations. However each
of these operating locations are further aggregated based on the following factors: (a) similarity of economic and political conditions;
(b) relationships between operations in different geographical areas; (c) proximity of operations; (d) special risks associated with
operations in a particular area; (e) exchange control regulations; and (f) the underlying currency risk. Accordingly, the following have
been identified as operating and reportable segments: (a) 'India', (b) 'USA' (c) 'Europe' and (d) 'Rest of the World'.
b. Method of pricing inter segment transfers
Inter segment sales are generally accounted at fair values and the same have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting policies
of the segments are substantially the same as those described in the 'Statement of Significant Accounting Policies' as under para 1
above.

lower, and earnings per share increased by an
impressive 300%. The strong cash flow improved the
balance sheet and the Company doubled the dividend
to `3 per share.
We essentially attained our income targets and further
improved the Company's value. Gratifying growth and
effective cost management led to increased operating
income through the year.
We worked hard on four strategic imperatives of
business performance that helped accelerate reaching
our goals. We enhanced our R&D and manufacturing
productivity; improved market share in premium
markets for our key products; built up a portfolio of

We stepped up on enhancing efficiencies and improved
the services to our customers. We significantly
increased the reliability of deliveries from all our
manufacturing units, especially On-Time-In-Full (OTIF).
We aim to continue this trend of improving our level of
performance over the coming years. We also listened to
our customers and brought in rapid processing of their
feedback.
A key element of our high level of performance at
Aurobindo is the way we work together. We are shaping
an environment where team spirit, respect and fairness
flourish. We are leveraging on our management
capabilities to focus on efficient execution through
streamlined initiatives. We are creating specific skills
to face the challenges of tomorrow, improving our
processes, being flexible and rapidly implementing new
business opportunities. The will to set new objectives,
the drive to achieve them and the ability to adapt to
change in a highly competitive market are yielding
results.
We strengthened the balance sheet during 2013-14. We
ramped up volumes, increased revenues and margins

It was another year of robust performance
and achievement, with accomplishments
in all major markets. At each level of the
organization, the resilience and
resourcefulness of our talented employees
ensured that our business continued to
grow and that we made inroads in niche
product markets.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 7
to deliver on our growth strategies. Throughout the
year, we were striving to optimize our cost structure,
enhance the consistency of profitability, as well as
increase the level and reliability of our cash flow from
operating activities to ensure adequate liquidity to
meet capital requirements. We generated traction by
improving efficiency through operational excellence,
cash generation through disciplined use of working
capital and long-term growth by expanding on our
strengths.
All our efforts translated into superior quality of
earnings. We realized consolidated revenue (net) of
`80,997.9 million for the year 2013-14. This represents
a 38.3% increase over the earlier year. Our EBITDA for
the year is `21,552.1 million, which is 26.6% of net
operating income, and has gone up by 142.3% over
2012-13. Change in sales and business mix had a
favorable impact on material consumption to net sales.
Cost of materials for the year under review was
44.5% of consolidated revenue (net) in comparison to
51.1% in the previous year.
We delivered earnings per share of `40.2 as against
`10.1 in the previous year, reflecting margin expansion,
product mix changes, lower material consumption, cost
reductions, process improvements and effectiveness in
the marketplace.
These numbers would have been better but for the
volatility in rupee-dollar equation. The closing rupee
versus US dollar rate was `59.915 on March 31, 2014;
and a year ago, at end of March 2013, it was `54.285.
The rupee depreciated by 10.4% in 2013-14 which
resulted in a net forex loss of `2,022.2 million for the
full year largely due to the reinstatement of our dollar-
denominated borrowings as against `1,353.2 million
in 2012-13.
Aurobindo of today is far better positioned for long
term sustainable growth and profitability. We have
several established products, a growing pipeline of
newer niche products, proven execution capabilities
and a competitive cost structure. Our complex and
multifaceted global business is managed by a team of
dedicated and highly experienced professionals.
The organizational structure ensures sharp focus on
accountability especially in areas such as quality and
compliance standards. Our strengths provide us with
tremendous opportunities to enhance competitiveness,
to improve our position in the marketplace, to raise the
productivity levels in all functions, while we strive to
reduce the risk quotient. The resilience of our business
and the investments that we have made over the past
few years underlines my confidence in the prospects of
our business.
We enter the new financial year 2014-15 with renewed
optimism. We propose to drive further growth with new
products, add to the momentum with niche launches
and aim to enhance profitability. With our known
capabilities, we are also foraying in a calibrated way,
into differentiated product lines such penems,
peptides, oncology, hormone, neutraceuticals and OTC
products. We will continue to drive growth through
unparalleled knowledge in chemistry, increase the
investment in intellectual property, improve our market
reach and forge mutually advantageous partnerships
with our customers.
Across the Company, we have one overriding objective
and commitment: generating results that are profitable
and sustainable. We will enhance the efficiency with
which products are launched and improve the ability to
seize strategic opportunities. On the whole, Aurobindo
is aiming to drive up the bottom line to further
strengthen its position as a leading pharmaceutical
company.

I am pleased that we achieved strong performance both
operationally and financially and made significant
investments in research, products and marketplace.
We took decisive steps to ensure our success in US as
well as in Europe. This includes executing on our
operating plans in the short-term while seizing ample
opportunities for growth across our businesses.
In 2013-14, we continued investing to capture this
growth.
The year was good on several fronts. We planned well
to move into the markets, stepped up our capacity
utilization at all manufacturing units, de-bottlenecked
our operations, ramped up on automation, upgraded
our operating systems and processes, worked hard on
quality assurance, optimized our supplies, improved our
effectiveness in supply chain, deepened our presence in
each country that we are present, augmented our
pharmaco vigilance systems and processes,
strengthened our management team, and generally did
well end-to-end in all aspects of our operations.

year has been `53,785 million, recording a growth of
58.8% over `33,872 million reported in 2012-13.
Formulation sales in the US contributed 63.2% in the
overall formulation revenue in 2013-14 as against 51.7%
in the previous year.
Formulations sales constitute 65.3% (57.2% in 2012-13)
and API 34.7% (42.8% in 2012-13) of gross sales. Our
revenues in US accounted for `34,028 million as against

growth year-on-year. Europe recorded a sale of `6721
million in 2013-14, thereby growing by a healthy 43.6%
over the previous year.
The ROW formulations sales grew by 11.3% to `4,634
million in 2013-14 over `4,164 million in 2012-13. There
has been a growth in anti-retroviral (ARV) formulations
sales by 12% to `8,402 million during the year as
against `7,503 million in 2012-13. In every market, our
bottom line focus is leading to driving volumes in high
value products.
We continue to demonstrate quarter-on-quarter growth
in our US business and are expanding the portfolio that
we have carefully built up. There are a significant
number of new products to be launched in 2014-15 as
well as several applications pending with the regulatory
agency. These products are a combination of day-one
generic launches as well as products aimed at existing
markets. We therefore have a good mix of volume
drivers for US markets.
There is enormous strength within Aurobindo to deal
with complex chemistry and build a large enviable
portfolio in the antiretroviral business. These are being
leveraged to pursue revenue opportunities while
meeting bottom line requirements. Newer markets with
prospects for rising volumes and margins are being
explored.
In the injectable business, going forward, we are
gearing ourselves for a meaningful growth in the
medium term. We have 45 files with FDA under review,
and we hope to file 9 more in 2014-15 and another 30
in 2015-16. Hence, depending on the timing of the
regulatory approvals, we could see significant growth
over the next two to three years.
As a result of a new initiative to spearhead Aurobindo
into the Western European markets, we would
accelerate our strategy of pursuing growth and
providing critical scale in those generics markets.
We have acquired about 1,250 dossiers from this
initiative and some more new products are likely to be
launched in 2014 & 2015. In addition, there are about
100 products already exported from our manufacturing
units in India. We aim to improve the profitability and
turnaround the business by combining the best-in-class
integrated large scale India-based manufacturing
operations and the strengths of an existing European
infrastructure.
Our top priority is translating these investments into
bottom line results. We recognize that we are in a
competitive market and are therefore actively facing
the changing tasks and challenges building on our
learnings, experiences and achievements. We at
Aurobindo believe that we have the energy, direction
and conviction to concentrate intensely on markets and
activities that offer growth potential and future
prospects.
Indeed, we are focusing on high value formulations to
enhance operational efficiencies, reduce cycle time
and operating costs and in the final analysis improve
yields and profitability. This approach was successfully
tested in the past two years. We have ensured
future market access and yet have worked on
concentration risk.
We have fine tuned our strategies for growth, planned
well for the short and medium term and made
appropriate investments in technology and capacity to
drive growth fundamentals and take advantage of
future opportunities. We have invested in scale,
expertise as well as in the breadth of our offerings to
ensure long-term success of Aurobindo to deliver value.
We are systematizing our processes to help replicate
our successes. More important, we have headroom to
grow: in the marketplace, with our strong product
portfolio and our large world class manufacturing
capacities.
We shall strive to sustain the present momentum of
growth.

THRUST INTO WESTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Aurobindo and Actavis plc, a global, integrated specialty pharmaceutical
company, have entered into a long-term commercial and supply arrangement.
Aurobindo acquired from Actavis the personnel, commercial infrastructure,
products, marketing authorizations and dossier licence rights in seven
European countries.
Following the receipt of clearances from competent authorities, Aurobindo
intends to combine the strength of both enterprises (including its vertically
integrated platform and existing commercial infrastructure) in these markets
and to identify and maximize all opportunities to improve performance.
Aurobindo will combine the best-in-class integrated large scale India-based
manufacturing operations and existing European infrastructure. With our cost
competitiveness and group structure, we could significantly capitalize on the
strong market position of Actavis in these Western European countries and
improve the profitability of Aurobindo.
The acquisition will enable the Company to achieve critical mass in Western
Europe with a top 10 position in several key markets. Simultaneously, the
Company will work closely with the acquired management teams to achieve a
rapid and successful integration. In addition, the integrated business would
provide a readymade hospital sales infrastructure for Aurobindo to launch its
own injectable and specialty portfolio.
Significant new initiatives
in 2013-14
OTC
Aurobindo has competencies to make a significant headway into the
over-the-counter (OTC) market. Development work has commenced for
35 OTC monograph products and exhibit batches have been made.
Filings have commenced with US FDA and the Company will exploit its
manufacturing and marketing strengths to commence commercial
production in second half of 2014.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 11
PEPTIDES
Peptides are naturally occurring biological molecules. They are short chains of amino
acid monomers linked by peptide (amide) bonds. Aurobindo has started investing in
peptide technology and is building a commercial facility with two modules
commensurate with cGMP standards. Necessary equipments have been commissioned
and we have developed technologies for more than ten products. Validation batches
have been completed for three peptides and sample shipments have commenced to
customers for their development work. Drug Master Files are being prepared and we
propose to seek a few product filings before the end of 2014-15.
There are over 30 peptides which are available globally and Aurobindo is
capable of making each of these peptides and aspires to be an important
player in the premium markets. Considering the capability that we have in
terms of technology as well as competency in our experienced and talented
resources, Aurobindo can compete with the best players in the industry, in the
near future. The revenue streams are planned to commence in 2015.
ONCOLOGY & HORMONAL PRODUCTS
The Company is also in the process of developing wide range of oncology
products and hormonal products. Our product capabilities would include vials,
prefill syringes and softgel capsules that are used in the hospital as well
as in oncology clinics and renal clinics.
A new R&D Centre dedicated for generic research in the field of oncology and
hormones was set up in October 2013 at Hyderabad to develop anticancer drugs and
hormonal products, both for solid and parenteral dosage forms. Dossiers are
expected to be filed in 2015-16.
PENEMS
Aurobindo has developed and made Penem
filings for a few products in injectable
portfolio that are administered in the
pre-operating process. These are products
would be used while under anesthesia
reversal such as neuromuscular blockers.
NEUTRACEUTICALS
The Company is exploring opportunities in the
neutraceutical market. R&D activities have
been initiated to identify and develop synthetic
neutraceutical products. During 2013-14,
process development work to manufacture a
few products has been completed.

Increasing R&D productivity
c. Cost effective quality research;
d. Vision for the future.
During the financial year, several new initiatives were
taken to add traction to building a formidable API
business. Some of the achievements were as follows:
? The technology involving complex chemistry and
tough purification procedures to manufacture
certain niche drug substances for injectable
products were transferred;
? Chemical processes were developed for quite a
number of complicated drug substances, taking
them to production stage on a commercial scale;
? Knowhow and analytical capabilities were
enhanced to test and comply with the stringent
requirements of the new guidelines on elemental
impurities in drug substances;
? In line with our on-going program to achieve cost
optimization plan, chemical technology was
modified/optimized to reduce the raw materials
cost for several drug substances;
? R&D activities were initiated to identify and
develop neutraceutical products. Process
Aurobindo's strength lies in vertically integrating its
finished dosages manufacturing with active
pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) production to yield
quality formulations, based on extensive research. Our
forte is in managing non-infringing processes and
chemistry challenges for drug substances with complex
drug products developed by using innovative
technologies.
The vast scientific talent pool at Aurobindo creates
intellectual wealth for the Company and
commercializes cost effective, quality, generic finished
dosages for the targeted market. In order to assure
continued growth, it is our goal to increase the
productivity of research and development to achieve a
steady flow of new products. Our continuous initiatives
have resulted in a well balanced pipeline,
strengthening the competitive position with a
differentiated product portfolio.
Research & development (R&D), the foundation of
Aurobindo's success and the major driver of business, is
focused primarily on:
a. Excellent infrastructure and talent pool;
b. Robust portfolio of new products;
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 13
development to manufacture a few
neutraceuticals was successfully completed;
? As in the past, R&D efforts continued to focus on
timely development of drug substances for
Paragraph IV filings to avail 'Day One Launch'
opportunities in the US market.
Formulations R&D strived to support the growing/new
business avenues with dedicated generic research for
new product development in the areas of non-steriles
(oral solids, oral liquids) and steriles (injectables,
opthalmics and inhalations).
It is remarkable that a milestone of 300 submissions to
the US FDA was achieved at the end of 2013 and as at
end of March 2014 the submissions totaled 336 ANDA
filings. Significant contributions this year include filing
of 78 ANDAs with US FDA in addition to several filings
with other regulatory agencies. We also filed 18 Drug
Master Files during the year in USA, cumulatively
reaching 190 as at end of the financial year.
API DMF/COS filings in other key regulated markets
have reached 2,245 as at end of March 2014. Relentless
efforts were also made to apply for product and patent
approvals with other regulators.
The R&D team went the extra mile with thrust on oral
contraceptives and opthalmics. As a result, major
projects in these portfolios have been completed. New
business areas of OTC products and softgels were
identified and first submissions were made in this year
marking the start of a new business avenue. The
Company has acquired a new production facility at
Lawrenceville, NJ to take this business forward.
Manufacture of exhibit batches have already
commenced during the year.
Aurobindo has making headway in drug development of
anti-cancer drugs and hormonal products, both in solid
and parenteral dosage forms. In 2014-15, filings for
approvals are being planned for a few products.
While continuing to develop formulations in various
therapeutic and dosage form areas, R&D efforts are
also directed at exploring innovative products and
platform technologies. The idea is to examine
differentiated drug delivery systems for existing
molecules.
The future plans include making additional investments
on the safety aspects of the chemical technology
especially for process intensification and process
hazards evaluation. R&D teams are also working to
initiate development of continuous process technology.
As in the past, the focus continues on enhanced
quality-by-design to achieve cost effective product
development in APIs, formulations and packaging
materials.

Delivering quality
Aurobindo is aware that a critical element of robust
compliance, which supports value-driven analysis and a
low-risk audit defense strategy, lies in understanding
the interrelatedness among the laboratory compliance
levels.
Hence, the Company has instituted a strong system that
requires raw data - and its related review - conform
with the standard operating procedures. Documenting
everything and maintaining good records using good
documentation practices demonstrate that quality is
the responsibility of each analyst and must be
incorporated into every aspect of an analysis.
Operational and procedural control points are being
monitored routinely and audited to identify any need
for remediation. Within the manufacturing process at
Aurobindo, control points have been developed from
system validation deliverables, in addition to system
backup and restore, audit trail, good record keeping,
accountability levels and infrastructure requirements.
Awareness levels are being raised with operating
managers to ensure that quality and compliance are
everyone's business. The quality culture is being
reinforced with conscious interventions at various
operating levels. The plan is to attain the following
objectives on our way to reach zero quality complaints:
? Consistently define quality model within the
Company;
? Implement quality concept/policy as agreed;
Performance and reliability are two of our most
convincing assets at Aurobindo. We strive to ensure
that quality is in line with cGMP norms and, wherever
possible, enhance the benchmark standards. We have
invested heavily in compliance processes with inputs in
creating awareness, hiring more personnel, upgrading
our equipments and facilities. We brought responsible
care in everyone vested with accountability for
manufacturing and sensitized them to be correct at all
times.
Quality improvement is a constant and continuous
process. We see opportunities to improve our processes
and our efficiencies in our manufacturing operations
even as we manage to compress our overall costs. We
have integrated risk-based quality management system
in all our product life cycles. We have systematized
product development process.
Competent in-house employees keep testing the
effectiveness of our risk-based quality management
system. Quality assurance is achieved through several
measures such as process creation, enforcement,
review, re-engineering and capability building. These
measures are being complemented by training efforts
to improve behavior patterns and build a culture of
quality.
Within the Company's manufacturing system, there is
considerable premium attached to design, systems and
culture which ensures superior data governance.
We are known for the quality of our products, the value that we
provide and a culture of responsibility, respect and attention to detail.
We are a company with a distinct culture that encompasses an
ambitious approach to our work. Our emphasis is directed towards
compliance standards, customer requirements and patient needs.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 15
? Rules of adherence have been made simple to
understand, at all levels;
? Demonstrate concern for the long-term results and
business focus;
? Empower to take decisions to assume greater
responsibility;
? Dissect inadequacies in a resilient manner for
systemic solutions;
? Drive home the import of quality needs
consistently;
? Define responsibility and accountability levels;
? Relate to the bottom line to promote
accountability.
Today, automated quality management system is on
real-time basis ensuring that documentation is on-line,

minimizing the probability of human errors. The
operating managers have the edge to foresee crisis
situations ahead of the event, and take remedial
actions and/or preempt them.
There is a high level of training, awareness and
systemic improvements to underline focused quality
assurance. In the final analysis, Aurobindo has not only
enhanced the assurance standards but also minimized
the risk attached to the processes, products and service
levels.

the shop floor. The program focuses on building
ownership to identify process improvements and
immediately implement them. Each employee
identifies projects that can improve productivity,
reduce cycle time and meet timelines. We have
covered six manufacturing units through this initiative.
GB - Green Belt certification: This is an effort to
institutionalize process improvements that reduce cycle
time, boost productivity, enhance capacity utilization
and sensitize employees with problem solving concepts
and tools. Select 45 individuals have been trained and
are Green Belts today.
Internal trainers: As part of enhancing employee
engagement, we identified in-house subject matter
experts (SME) and trained them on train-the-trainer
programs. We today have 165 SMEs who train in
subjects such as cGMP, SOP training and audit
preparedness.
Boot Camp: Trainers take sessions on planning,
communication, OAR (Ownership, Accountability &
Responsibility) and team work and use live examples
straight from the shop floor to encourage participants,
motivate supervisors and seek improvement right away.
This is a high impact, high recall and high productivity
effort.
SMT - Self managed teams: An intensive three month
program, training permanent workmen on handling
production and small time maintenance with emphasis
Our experience, knowhow and state-of-the-art
technology serve to continuously advance far sighted
solutions and enhanced performance for the future.
Competent and committed people within Aurobindo are
empowered and encouraged to produce results and
grow their knowledge, skills and abilities. They are
being nurtured to become the Company's capital asset.
The Company to a large extent owes its performance
and technological edge to the commitment, creativity
and talent of its employees. Our well trained and
motivated employees comprise the basis for the
significant success and further development of the
Company. There is hence a program to continually
implement a variety of measures for the promotion,
continuing learning and professional development of
individual employees.
Aurobindo believes that we must customize learning
initiatives that result in sustainable improvement,
meeting existing and future business needs. While we
invested in identifying our organizational competencies
and functional skills, we now work with businesses
designing organizational development interventions
that improve processes, build capabilities, manage
relationships and most importantly make us cost
effective.
Some of the learning and development projects
implemented during the year are as follows:
FEiT - Functional Expert in Teams: This is an initiative
that involves operators and executives directly from
Nurturing human capital
At Aurobindo, we have an enormous store of professional experience
and expertise in areas such as chemistry, R&D, process engineering,
manufacturing, quality control and assurance and logistics. We have
turned this edge into a decisive advantage.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 17
on cGMP, critical SOPs, chemical handling and safety
procedures.
Safety Mantra: These programs are organized for the
entire production, maintenance, warehouse and QC
teams which has lowered incidents and accidents
related to earthing practices, nitrogen handling, use of
plastic liners & insulated material, proper control of
static electricity and accumulation of solvent
concentrations in work areas.
Training programs initiated in the past few years in
subject areas such as safety champions, organizational
values, operational excellence, team building, change-
room behavior, SOPs are being taken through as many
employees as are required. Over and above these on-
going training efforts, a training academy has been set
up for fresh graduate to ramp up the required technical
skills to cater to our growing business needs, as well as
focus on leadership development. The Aurobindo
Training and Development Centre (ATDC) has a vision to
develop and nurture technical and managerial talent
for business excellence through imparting world-class
application oriented training and developmental
interventions.
The ATDC is expected to create a pipeline of quality
talent to requirements in areas such as quality,
stability, regulatory domains, and enhance the existing
talent in several disciplines. Newer functional areas are
proposed to be added in the medium term.
With a clear focus on enhancing critical competencies,
training is being imparted to increase the level of
operational excellence, improve productivity, raise
compliance standards on quality and safety. The
objective is to modify work place behaviors to achieve
desired outcomes. A special team of subject matter
experts (SME) has been constituted to handle various
subjects with focus on practical application and provide
needed support as well as to monitor the progress.
Overall, in order to improve the efficiency, operational
excellence and to bring out the best in our people,
human capital efficiency studies have been initiated
with assistance from professional industrial engineers
for optimum deployment. Employee satisfaction levels
are being studied as well as competency mapping
exercise has been undertaken by external experts in
our bid to improve employee engagement.

? created guidelines and standards for replicating
effective processes uniformly across all our units.
Every employee and every supervisor has been made
aware that being safe and taking care of ourselves and
each other are our highest priority. Our aim is to
protect our employees against work related hazards.
Employees in the manufacturing function are being
trained to become safety champions. They are being
trained to take ownership of production blocks where
they identify possible non-conforming work ethics,
counsel the user, train the team, even do minor repairs
as required and also conduct regular audits.
The Company has established work safety programs
which take into account regulatory requirements and
site specific challenges. We have a systematic approach
to investigating each element of a process to identify
all of the ways in which parameters can deviate from
the intended design conditions and create hazards or
operability problems.
We review the effectiveness of our occupational safety
measures by internal surprise audits. Technical and
organizational corrective measures are developed from
The cornerstones of sustainable business development
are the long-term competitive creation of value in
manufacturing as well as the most prudent use of
resources. The Company hence focuses on creating
human friendly working conditions. As a company
committed to ensuring that our pharma products
essentially meet the mandatory technical and
regulatory standards, we are earnest about protecting
our employees, our facilities and our environment from
harm, to conserve natural resources and promote eco-
awareness.
Safety
Our approach to business integrates a robust and
sustainable safety system to aim for zero incidents. In
our laid down policy, we have expressed our
commitment to the prevention of injury and illness.
During 2013-14, we enhanced our safety performance
by addressing the following three areas:
? strived to implement action plans suggested by
safety consultants and subject matter experts;
? continued with the thrust being given to hazards
and operability (HAZOP) studies; and,
Aurobindo has been committed to the fundamental principles of
sustainable development for several years. For us, it is important to
balance all three facets of business simultaneously: contribute to
society, create economic value and safeguard the ecology.
Ensuring sustainability
For both safety and environmental
management, the mantra to
monitor progress is
investigate-analyze-preempt.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 19
all deviations from laid down standards and
documented.
In order to reinforce the commitment levels, we
integrated safety in the job descriptions of supervisory
and managerial personnel at manufacturing units. We
intensified the training inputs to employees at
operating sites, with emphasis in safety training to
contractors' workmen. Specific targeted training was
also given to all employees in the engineering stream
on handling of machine tools, hand tools and
introduced work permit system. We stepped our vigil of
near-miss events, vastly reducing the likelihood of
incidents.
HAZOP studies which were initiated in the previous
year are progressing, with satisfactory completion of
38 products during the year. We studied root causes of
incidents which occurred throughout the Company
during the past three years, and targeted specific
safety training to all production employees on
importance of earthing, use of nitrogen blanket, usage
of conductive materials and avoiding solvent
concentrations in closed rooms. Hardware
improvements were done in areas such as installation
of nitrogen blanketing, breather valves, fire alarm
system, explosion flaps in tray driers, etc.
The main goal in occupational safety is to keep the
hazardous materials from entering the air at the
workplace. The objective is to avoid the emissions of
these materials into the environment. For instance,
after taking up a new product, before commencement
of any activity, the required safety-relevant control and
operating instructions are written and the employees
are trained on the contents of the documents.
We formed apex environment, health and safety (EHS)
committees in every unit, to raise the accountability
levels. In order to monitor at the organization level, an
EHS council was formed to facilitate corporate
supervision, intervention and review. Overall, we have
enhanced awareness and behavior pattern at our units,
thereby improving the safety culture.
Going ahead, we want to benchmark ourselves with
global standards, complete HAZOP studies for all
products, identify more action areas in every
manufacturing unit and extend the process safety
review methodology at formulation units. We want to
guarantee a high degree of safety in the workplace.
Our goal is to eliminate time lost due to accidents. We
have an ambitious program to that end.
Environment
It is important for us that economic growth be achieved
in harmony with environmental and social
responsibilities. We shall continue to adhere to the
fundamentals of sustainable development.
As a responsible corporate, we are striving to enhance
our environmental commitment with a four pronged
action plan:
? capacity building in our facilities and people;
? take pro-active initiative for environmental
clearances for new and expansion projects;
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 20
? ensure compliance with customer expectations and
regulatory norms; and,
? continue with our focus to reduce water
consumption, minimize wastewater generation,
and recycle and reuse wastes for achieving more
robust environment management mechanism
across the organization.
We have commenced capacity building in
environmental management and expansion vis-à-vis
regularization of existing manufacturing capacities and
related environmental loads at three API units of the
Company. We initiated two major environment
management projects at Aurobindo Unit I i.e. a 500 KL
multiple effect evaporator (MEE) system and a 500 KL
reverse osmosis system. One project is already put to
operation and the other project is under installation.
We are also planning tertiary and polishing treatment
for treated wastewater at Aurobindo Unit XI.
Environmental clearance project has been taken up for
Unit VIII and a project taken up for Unit I is being
readied for submission to the environmental authorities
at Delhi.
Several environment management operations taken up
in the recent past across the manufacturing units have
stabilized and the degree of consistency in
performance has improved as compared to previous
years. One more manufacturing unit has reached zero
discharge level. There are no process effluents going to
any common effluent treatment plant. We have
achieved zero process liquid discharge across all
Aurobindo API manufacturing units located at
Hyderabad. We are presently, creating sewerage
treatment plants in our research and production units.
We have been taking action to reduce our eco-footprint
and create more value with less environmental impact.
We are reducing any negative impact of our activities,
whether now or in the future. We are designing,
developing and using products with end-of-life in mind.
We therefore are bringing more functionality using less
material in our operations.
Proactive steps taken up during the past two years have
helped in sustaining and supporting uninterrupted
manufacturing and project activities, at all our sites.
Yet, we believe this is a continuous area of
improvement and we should explore further scope for
refining our standards and raise the level of
accountability of unit managers.
Capacity building is being targeted to reduce
wastewater disposal costs and recycling of treated
wastewater. As a practice, we shall also strive to
reduce waste disposal costs.
We are reviewing all our systems to further streamline
and strengthen compliance, regulatory & customer
benchmark standards. In the medium term, we shall
seek accreditations from global rating agencies for our
units.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 21
Corporate Social Responsibility
Vision
The Company shall carry its normal business in a
manner that is beneficial to society & environment in
addition to propagation of business.
Stakeholder involvement
For Aurobindo, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
means responsible business practices through the
involvement of all stakeholders in the decision making
process and in operations. It entails having business
policies that are ethical, equitable, environmentally
conscious, gender sensitive, and being sensitive
towards the differently abled. In the process,
Aurobindo commits itself to creating a more equitable
and inclusive society by supporting processes that lead
to sustainable transformation and social integration.
This process is being extended voluntarily as an
employee engagement initiative of the management
and employees. The philosophy & spirit of CSR is to be
spread across the organization through sensitization &
awareness program for cross-section of all employees.
Further, a CSR cell is being constituted as a Board
Committee to co-ordinate the activities.
In our attempt to be competitive and financially
healthy, we at Aurobindo remain equally responsible
and committed to create well-being with all those that
we transact. We are also steering the right course in
offering solutions to positively impact the society at
large.
We are formally establishing a strategy that is
integrated into our business to reflect the social and
environmental issues we have identified as Company
priorities, based on internal and external feedback.
The objectives of our policy are as follows:
? Demonstrate commitment to the common good
through responsible business practices and good
governance;
? Actively support the state's development agenda to
ensure sustainable change and attain development
of the neighboring society;
? Set high standards of quality in the delivery of
services in the social sector by creating robust
processes and replicable models;
? Engender a sense of empathy and equity among
employees of Aurobindo to motivate them to give
back to the society.

Management Discussion
& Analysis
ECONOMIC BACKGROUND
The Central Statistics Office had estimated
India's real GDP to have grown by 4.6% during
April-December 2013. It had projected the
GDP growth for the entire fiscal year 2013-
14 at 4.9%, thus implicitly estimating the
growth for the last quarter at 5.5%.
The country's real GDP growth (growth in gross
domestic product at factor cost at 2004-05
constant prices) was expected to pick up in
the last quarter of 2013-14. The early data
releases - IIP and merchandise exports -
indicate that the recovery has been prolonged.
As per preliminary estimates, the economy
has grown at a rate of 4.7% or even lower in
2013-14.
The growth is likely to have been subdued
because of poor performance of the mining,
manufacturing, construction and trade,
hotels, transport, storage & communication
services sectors. While the size of the mining
sector has shrunk on supply constraints, the
others have suffered due to poor domestic
demand, both consumption and investment.
The agriculture, financial, insurance, real
estate & business services and community,
social & personal services sectors are believed
to have grown well in 2013-14. The growth
in India's real GDP is expected to improve to
5.5% in 2014-15 from 4.7% in 2013-14.
The agriculture sector that did well in 2013-
14, owing to a good monsoon, is expected to
witness a sharp deceleration in growth to
1.8% in 2014-15 from 3.8% in 2013-14.
Unlike last year, the monsoon is expected to
be weak in 2014, as El Nino conditions are
expected to develop. The deficient rainfall and
high base of last year, is expected to pull
down the growth of the agricultural sector in
2014-15.
On the other hand, given the upbeat business
confidence, industrial and services sectors are
expected to show acceleration in growth in
2014-15. Industrial sector is expected to grow
by 3.3%, faster than a low 0.6% growth
estimated for 2013-14. The mining sector is
expected to return to growth provided no
natural calamities hamper production. The
sector will grow by 2.8%, after shrinking for
three successive years.
Investment demand in India is expected to
pick up gradually in 2014-15, as the Cabinet
Committee on Investments (CCI) has been
clearing several projects. The land acquisition
process has become easy post implementation
of the new land acquisition act. Fast tracking
of projects is expected to boost the
construction activity in India, generate new
employment and create fresh demand for
items like cement, steel and machinery.
High inflation and firm interest rates had
eaten into discretionary spending and savings
of the middle and lower class in 2013-14.
But, inflation is unlikely to rise in 2014-15
which, in turn, can boost the growth of the
manufacturing sector. Exports, which account
for 19% of the sales of the manufacturing
sector, are also expected to contribute to the
industrial growth in 2014-15. Export earnings
are expected to rise by 9.1% in US dollar terms
on weak rupee and pick-up in global economy.
The manufacturing sector is expected see a
turnaround in 2014-15, registering a 2.8%
growth, as against a 0.5% fall estimated for
2013-14. The electricity sector is expected
to maintain its growth rate at around 6% in
2014-15.
The services sector, which accounts for 60%
of the real GDP, is also expected to show an
improvement in growth to 7.3% in 2014-15
from 6.8% in 2013-14. The acceleration in
growth is expected to come from the trade,
hotels, transport, storage & communication
services sector. An improvement in the growth
of mining, manufacturing and construction
sectors is expected to have a cascading effect
on the performance of these services. The
growth of the sector is expected to accelerate
to 5.7% in 2014-15 from 4.4% in 2013-14.
It is estimated that the finance, real estate
& insurance services sector and the
community, social & personal services sector
will maintain the growth rate at around 11%
and 5.5%, respectively in 2014-15.
The HSBC Trade Confidence Index, the largest
trade confidence survey in the world, has
positioned India at the top with 142 points.
The increasing demand due to its population
makes the country a good market for
consumption goods, according to the report.
With a newly elected government in place,
Indian economy is expected to improve in
2014-15. The recovery will be calibrated,
although several sectors might see a jump
start. On the whole, there is improvement in
business confidence across the country and
good days for the economy are expected in
the near future.
INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE
India has over 10,500 manufacturing units
and over 3,000 pharma companies and exports
all forms of pharmaceuticals from APIs to
formulations, both in modern medicine and
traditional Indian medicines. Globally, India
ranks among the top exporters of formulations
by volume.
The country's exports of generics have been
growing at a rate of nearly 24% annually over
the past four years. As per 'Pharma Vision
2020', the Government of India aims to make
India a global leader in end-to-end drug
manufacturing epicenter, leveraging on the
fact that cost of production in India is
approximately 35% to 40% lower than in the
developed countries. The enormous
opportunity can be best illustrated from the
projected human resource requirement of the
Indian pharma sector, estimated to be about
2.15 million by 2020.
According to an estimate, India accounts for
35.7%, about 3,000 of the 8,374 Drug Master
Files filed with the USA, which is the highest
by any country outside of USA. Higher
commitment of resources and continuing
efforts of the industry participants in
conjunction with product patent cliff has
made India a major destination for generic
drug manufacturing. According to a recent
study, India has already been accredited with
907 CEPs, 845 TGA and 513 sites registered
with the US FDA.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 26
India is the third-largest exporter of drugs
to the United States by volume. In 2013-14,
at USD 14.84 billion (approximately `898
billion), the growth rate of India' s
pharmaceutical exports slowed sharply to just
1.2%. The near stagnation in growth is
because of import alerts and bans by US
regulators, a slowdown in the European Union
and increased competition.
Seen on a global perspective, compared to
other industries, over the past two years, the
pharmaceutical industry across the world
remained less impacted by the global
economic uncertainty in certain parts of the
world; yet, it would be appropriate to say
that the industry is facing pressure from
escalating costs and overwhelmed health
systems across the world. An overview of
recent sector performance shows that it is
favorably positioned to achieve success in
2014 and beyond.
Among the drivers for growth are an aging
population, rising incidence of chronic
diseases, technological advancements and
product innovation, and certain anticipated
impact from health care reform provisions
including increases in government funding
and insurance coverage. Opportunities in
emerging markets could continue to see
traction, although many companies are
looking more cautiously at these markets due
to slowing growth and other pressures.
Factors such as India's low cost of production
and strong R&D growth are the driving factors
in attracting global pharmaceutical
companies to India and at the same time,
the comparative cost advantage enhances
pharma exports. In fact, the rising global
demand for generic drugs is also playing an
important role in development of India as a
hub for generic drug manufacturing.
India holds over 10% share in the global
pharma production with over 60,000 generic
brands across 60 therapeutic categories and
manufacturing over 400 different active
pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). There is
no doubt on the growth potential of the
Indian pharma industry. In fact, a recent
Deloitte report added that Indian companies
can be expected to garner USD 40 billion in
sales as close to 46 US drug patents will
expire by 2015.
Globally, pharmaceuticals generated total
revenue of USD 959 billion in 2012, growing
2.4 percent from 2011 (considerably below
the 5.3% increase posted the year prior).
Oncology is the leading therapeutic class;
other focus areas include pain management,
hypertension, diabetes, mental health, and
respiratory ailments.
Recently, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu examined
common elements of the current wave of
global reform, national differences, and how
life sciences companies are reacting. Among
their key survey findings are:
Reducing costs, enhancing innovation
and improving market access are the
defining goals of health care reform.
Some countries are adopting value-
based pricing structures for life sciences
products, while others are combining
cost containment with assistance for
companies investing in R&D;
Main impact of reform eventually will
be on innovation and sales models;
Specific elements of reform vary by
country, requiring companies to have
national approaches. Policy changes are
predominantly shaped by specific
national contexts with elements that
are unique to their national systems;
Leading companies are remodeling their
innovation and sales activities in the
face of reforms. Companies are working
to change their innovation processes
and sales models to benefit from
opportunities arising from reforms.
Overall, cost containment is a common reform
objective in both developed and developing
markets; however, strategies vary. Most
national health care systems have been
encouraging greater use of generic drugs; in
the U.S., for example, the proportion of
prescriptions filled by generics has risen from
around 50 to 80% over the last decade. Brazil
is making branded generics and proprietary
drugs of greater interest to pharmaceutical
companies, and in China, recent reforms have
put intense pressure on the prices of all drugs,
including generic and over-the-counter (OTC)
medicines.
In another cost-containment approach,
Germany and several other countries have
turned to value-based pricing for new drugs,
which allows a price differential from existing
offerings - including generics - based on a
new product's demonstrated superiority.
Pharma exports from India will be more than
the size of the domestic sales by FY15,
according a recent report by India Ratings &
Research. While revising its outlook for the
sector for next fiscal to positive from stable
because of increased exports, the firm said
that the domestic pharma market is expected
to see high single digit revenue growth and
profit margins are expected to improve
because of increasing utilization of
manufacturing facilities.
As stated earlier, India is emerging as the
manufacturing hub of the global
pharmaceutical industry driven by large
labour force, skills and education, to become
a potent competitor to the developed
countries. According to PriceWaterhouse
Coopers, finished generics supplied from
India account for about 20% of the global
generic market by volumes. More than 90%
of WHO pre-qualified Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredients (ARV, Anti-tubercular and anti-
malarials) are sourced from India.
55% of India' s total pharma exports
amounting to USD 14.84 billion is shipped
to the highly regulated markets of the world,
including the US and EU countries. Japan too
holds a big potential for Indian pharma
sector.

82% of its revenues derived out of
international operations. The customers
include premium multi-national companies.
After creating a name for itself in the
manufacture of bulk actives and ensuring a
firm foundation of cost effective production
capabilities together with a clutch of loyal
customers, the Company has entered the
high-margin specialty generic formulations
segment, with a global marketing network.
The business is systematically organized with
an identified accountability structure and a
focused team for each key international
market. Aurobindo' s business strategy
includes gaining volumes and market shares
in every business/segment it enters.
Through cost effective manufacturing
capabilities and with support of a few loyal
customers, the Company entered the high
margin specialty generic formulations
segment. In less than a decade, Aurobindo
has evolved into a knowledge driven company
manufacturing active pharmaceutical
ingredients and formulation products. It is
R&D focused and has a multi-product
portfolio with manufacturing facilities in

Aurobindo makes use of in-house R&D for
rapid filing of patents, Drug Master Files
(DMFs), Abbreviated New Drug Applications
(ANDAs) and formulation dossiers across the
world. The Company is among the largest
filers of DMFs and ANDAs from India.
Aurobindo's R&D strengths lie in developing
intellectual property in non-infringing
processes and resolving complex chemistry
challenges. In the process, Aurobindo
develops new drug delivery systems, dosage
formulations and applies new technology for
better processes.
The medium term strategy of the Company is
to continuously globalize the intellectual
property assets and enhance value to
shareholders and customers. In global
markets, the Company continues to retain and
enhance cost-efficient quality leadership in
its chosen segments, such as newer anti-
infectives and lifestyle disease drugs. It is
the endeavor of the Company to achieve this
by resolving complex chemistry challenges,
improving process efficiencies, adopting
global scale manufacturing and using cost-
effective market networks throughout its
addressable markets. Aurobindo aims to
repeat its success year after year and emerge
as a major player in the developed markets.
The long-term growth strategies being put
in to action include:
Developing a broad portfolio of DMFs/
ANDAs through non-infringing
processes and intellectual properties
and become a significant player in the
generics market, especially in the
regulated markets;
Managing cost efficiency in a mega-

by US FDA/European regulatory
authorities; and in the process, enhance
the attractiveness of Aurobindo to
alliance partners;
Resolving complex chemical challenges
and offering advanced drugs to the
global markets;
Globalizing and further penetrating the
markets through joint ventures/
subsidiaries/organic means into Japan,
Brazil and other Latin American
countries; and,
Emerging as a leading player in global
high-quality innovative specialty
generic formulations and domestic
brand segments.
The corporate plans are to ensure growth
through organic means and adopting
strategic joint ventures and alliances. The
objective is to maximize the revenues and
margins while risks are minimized. Aurobindo
has tie-ups with a few customers, giving them
a competitive edge through faster product
development and optimized costs. The
strategy is based on co-working and
collaborative alliances and the Company has
successfully established strategic
partnerships with global pharmaceutical
majors.
A few strengths of the Company are as
follows:
Strict confidentiality and utmost
secrecy are maintained through
absolute adherence to the non-
disclosure clause;
Efficient supply chain management and
optimal utilization of capacities, are
ensured enabling Aurobindo to pass on
substantial cost benefits to its
customers;
Sticking to set deadlines. For instance,
the Company commercialized an API
involving a 14-step process with five
chiral centers in just 13 weeks;
A huge library with syndicated
databases is available and the latest
software ensures quick and efficient
literature/patent survey and retrieval of
information;
Multi-disciplinary project teams
interface with the customers' right from
the start to ensure a seamless
integrated approach. Their
responsiveness enables rapid execution
of projects;
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 28
Besides conforming to cGMP and cGLP
due attention is given to safety, health
and environment aspects;
The Company has harnessed the latest
in communication technology - a
dedicated server for on-line data
processing, video conferencing, tele-
conferencing, etc. to ensure constant
communication throughout the life of
the project;
A right mix of instrumentation and
production expertise with due emphasis
on profiling, characterization of
compounds and reduction in impurities,
chiral resolution and impurity profiling
ensure the highest quality of
deliverables and yield optimization;
The manufacturing infrastructure, the
knowledge base at the research centers
and the ability to deal successfully with
its process chemistry strengths are the
forte of Aurobindo.
All the strengths have been tested from the
perspective plan to manufacturing plant and
later in the market place. There is a powerful
marketing infrastructure backed up by state-
of-the-art manufacturing systems that are
driving the business.
THREATS AND CHALLENGES
The pharmaceutical industry is highly
competitive and the challenges are from both
the Indian manufacturers who have similar
production facilities as well as those abroad.
Human resources with similar skills, talents
and experiences in the industry are mobile
between competing companies.
Price pressures are intense and are expected
to remain so. Going forward, there is a risk
of inability to maintain current margins on
its products. Price sensitivities get tested in
a crowded market where price tends to sag
while volume business gets done.
Competing pharmaceutical companies have
several similar bio-equivalent products in the
same market manufactured at facilities that
have been approved by the highest regulatory
authorities. All of them stay focused on the
same markets resulting in price elasticity
being tested and margins eroding.
Yet, it must be appreciated that Indian
manufacturers in general, and Aurobindo in
particular, have made an impact on the global
stage and have worked hard to get shelf
space. This threat does not affect Aurobindo,
because of its control over raw material
sourcing. The Company is a dominant player
in the active ingredients business and has
been able to control its quality, improve on
timelines, be competitive on its costs and
has the ability to deliver at short notice.
Pricing power i.e. the ability to price lower
and yet manage to get higher return on sales
than the competitors, is a potent strength.
This is a unique advantage that Aurobindo
enjoys over manufacturers across the world.
The Company has been timing its launches
to take advantage of products going off-
patent and the opportunities available in a
first-mover market. This strategy is built
around the in-house R&D capabilities,
technology strength in manufacturing
facilities and the marketing infrastructure.
Aurobindo has worked on its speed-to-market
abilities and is quick to convert product
approvals into invoices.
The scientists and professionals of Aurobindo
have been trained to create opportunities,
replicate the successes and drive business
growth. The Company has unmatched
strengths to cope with the challenges of the
market such as experienced staff with ability
to anticipate market needs, plan for product
launches with supportive documentation,
create products that meet regulatory norms
and execute plans within tight cost and time
budgets.
INTERNAL CONTROL
The professionally managed Company has
implemented Oracle based ERP which not only
adds to the controls, but has led to faster
information, analysis and improved decision
making.
Aurobindo has a well-defined internal control
system which is adequately monitored. Checks
and balances and control systems have been
established to ensure that assets are
safeguarded, utilized with proper
authorization and recorded in the books of
account.
There is a proper definition of roles and
responsibilities across the organization to
ensure information flow and monitoring.
These are supplemented by internal audit
carried out by a firm of Chartered
Accountants. The Company has an Audit
Committee consisting of three directors, all
of whom are independent. This Committee
reviews the internal audit reports, statutory
audit reports, the quarterly and annual
financial statements and discusses all
significant audit observations and follow up
actions arising from them.
HUMAN RESOURCES
Aurobindo Pharma has a team of over
9,500 professionals from 26 countries
working at its various divisions - API
manufacturing, formulation manufacturing,
chemical R&D, formulation R&D and overseas
operations. About 80% of these employees
are graduates, post graduates and PhDs.
The Company has recrafted its human
resource philosophy and put it into action
across the organization. In brief, they are
iterated below:
attract, build and retain right talent at
all levels;
create and nurture a performance
culture through continuous capability
building, performance measurement and
leveraging of IT;
foster leadership at all levels through
trust, empowerment and openness;
strengthen collaborative approach for
business excellence; and,
promote a vibrant work culture based
on innovation and to incentivize people
based on productivity/outstanding
performance.
In line with the HR philosophy, the emphasis
has been on the five critical dimensions of
people management:
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 29
Establishment of vibrant organizational
culture;
Talent attraction and retention;
Continuous capability building;
Recognition of outstanding
performance of the team/individuals;
and,
Staff welfare.
In order to keep pace with the changing
global business scenario, Aurobindo has taken
up various change management initiatives.
One of them is ' Aurobindo Achieving
Competitive Edge' or A2CE. This initiative has
created a forum to tap creative talent among
employees, bring significant improvement in
the form of high productivity and quality,
realize better asset utilization and manpower
deployment. Teams and individuals are
rewarded and recognized for project
deliverables and learning. A2CE reaches out
to Aurobindo employees through monthly
project reviews and a portal - a2ce.com - that
shares best practices with employees.
Another initiative is 'Mission Quality' which
aims to create and augment the quality
culture across the organization to assess our
staff and executives in quality standards
compliance and their commitment to quality.
An assessment based on key performance
indices and quality metrics has been carried
out at our Formulations unit to identify
Master Quality Leaders (MQL) who will
facilitate our quality initiatives across the
organization
Industrial relations continue to be cordial and
harmonious. The management has initiated
various measures such as formation of
bipartite forums and joint management
councils to promptly redress staff grievances
and to improve welfare amenities in the
plants. During the period under review, there
was no incident of work stoppage or loss of
production due to IR related issues.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Aurobindo's CSR charter covers the following
areas of activities:
Social welfare and
Education
Under the social welfare scheme, the Company
provides medical care and community service
activities such as provision of potable water
at nearby villages, provision of bore well
tanks and overhead tanks, laying of roads
connecting villages.
Under the education scheme, the Company
provides financial support and sponsors poor
but meritorious students to undergo various
courses and finances village schools to drive
education among the students of village
community members etc. The aim is to
provide relevant and useful education to
women and children in different locations
where Aurobindo is present. This program was
initiated to introduce non-academic
knowledge and skills of traditional trades in
the surrounding villages.
In line with the new statutory requirements,
a Board level CSR committee has been
constituted to evolve a suitable policy and
create a mechanism for implementing it as
per the laid down guidelines under the
Companies Act, 2013.
OUTLOOK
Pharmaceutical industry is faced with major
challenges but Aurobindo is part of product
segments that display growth. In a world that
is striving to achieve lower drug costs at
every level, production costs will continue
to remain a key measure. Aurobindo has a
good foundation of reliable sourcing and cost
effective manufacturing systems and is
exploring further ways of reducing costs and
strengthening competitiveness.
Sales are being ramped up across all the
geographies. This trend, as in the past, is
expected to continue with several new
launches as well as improving the existing
business. A further thrust is being given to
the Company's presence in Europe while
adding to the market share of the injectable
side of the business. In the case of the APIs,
the emphasis is to grow the high value
products, gain momentum in developed
markets and taper-off non-competitive
products.
Capacity utilization is improving at all
production units. Indeed, keeping the likely
requirement for growth in the generics
market, balancing equipment is being added
in API manufacturing facilities. The Company
has an enviable product basket with a large
portfolio of regulatory approvals. The focus
will be to continue to step up the volumes
of high value products, improve the reach in
the market while taking care to reduce overall
costs.
The Company will capitalize on its inherent
strengths, some of which are iterated below:
Cost effective vertically integrated
manufacturing systems;
Current Good Manufacturing Practices
(cGMP) and regulatory compliant
facilities producing high-quality APIs
and finished dosage formulations;
Best-in class, best-in-cost large
manufacturing capacity;
High visibility in API and generics;
Strong financial position with ability
to scale up;
Highly skilled professionals with
regulatory expertise and competent to
deliver on development, product
processes and regulatory standards;
Access to new technologies.
The corporate objectives are structured to
achieve enhanced shareholder value while
delivering what the customers want. An
increased thrust on combination drugs, in-
licensing initiatives, alliances with MNCs and
other measures such as enhanced focus on
injectables, OTCs, institutional segment as
well as focus on reaching direct to the
customers are some of the drivers for gaining
traction in enhancing revenues, EBITDA
margin and Return on Investment higher than
the industry average. The target is to stay
cash flow positive, lower the leverage, reduce
interest outgo and strive to expand earnings.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 30
Risks & their
management
As in any business, Aurobindo's
business too involves risks. Risk
management is an integral part of
the Company's plans, business
strategies, monitoring systems
and results. It takes in all
organizational processes geared to
early risk detection, identification
and timely implementation of
appropriate counter measures.
The Company has embedded risk
management activities in the
operational responsibilities of
management and made them an
integral part of overall
governance, organizational and
accountability structure.
At Aurobindo, risk is defined as
any contingency that has a
potential negative impact on
achieving business goals,
especially on earnings trends.
One of the priorities in the
Company's growth trajectory is
active risk management, building
further on the current successful
practices and learning from
experiences. It also provides the
basis to select risks that drive
value while proactively
mitigating, managing or
transferring risks that do not
create value.
OVERVIEW
Aurobindo Pharma, an integrated global
pharmaceutical company engaged in API and
formulations business segments, faces various
business risks just like any other business.
Such business risks are broadly categorized
into strategic, operational, financial and
compliance risks. Aurobindo believes that
there can be no growth or creation of value
in the Company without risk-taking, while
risks not properly managed can affect the
Company's ability to achieve its objectives.
Risk management system plays a key role in
directing the Company's activities within the
desired parameters.
The Company defines risks as events that have
the potential to negatively impact
achievement of objectives and anything that
would prevent the Company from achieving
its business objectives, including both
internally and externally driven, or due to
either action or inaction on the part of
Company.
Aurobindo has embedded and aligned risk
management system with every part of critical
business processes in order to systematically
ensure that processes are designed to achieve
strategic objectives and the business risks
are identified across the organisation in a
holistic manner rather than in silos.
RISK MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
At present, risk management structure at
Aurobindo comprises the Board of Directors
at the apex level, supported by the Managing
Director, business heads, functional heads,
and unit heads. As risk owners, these business
leaders are entrusted with the responsibility
of identification and monitoring of risks
which are discussed and deliberated at
various review meetings and actions are
drawn upon accordingly. The identified risks
along with action plans to mitigate them are
monitored regularly for effective business
performance and operational excellence.
RISK IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT
The risk management system involves fair
practice relating to identification,
assessment, mitigation and monitoring of all
critical risks in pharmaceutical industry which
would impact the achievement of key
business objectives. Key risks are being
identified and assessed function wise by
using fair practices and people have been
made accountable for monitoring and
managing the risks regularly.
Aurobindo identifies and evaluates several
risk factors and draws out appropriate
mitigations plans associated with the risks.
Aurobindo relentlessly endeavours not only
to minimise risks but convert them into
business opportunities that allow it to
maximise returns for shareholders from
diverse situations. The Company believes in
constant monitoring and decision-making to
balance risks and rewards to translate them
into an optimal solution between revenue
generating initiatives and risks taken.
ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
During the year, Aurobindo has taken the
initiative to design and implement a
structured and holistic Enterprise Risk
Management (ERM) framework which is based
on COSO ERM Framework, USA (Committee of
Sponsoring Organization of Treadway
Commission). The ERM Framework will be
rolled over in a phased manner across all key
business functions.
Business risks in Aurobindo
Some of the key existing and emerging risks
affecting Aurobindo's business are listed
below:
Economic and geopolitical risks
Economic and political instability resulting
from changes in foreign policies and political
leadershipin countries such as USA, Europe
and other countries where Aurobindo has
business presence could adversely affect the
Company's operations and revenues.
Aurobindo' s business is substantially
dependent on exports to USA, Europe and
the rest of the world (ROW) with a balanced
product basket that contains several
therapeutic segments and revenue breakup
of the Company is as given below:
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 31
About 65.3% of the Company's revenue
is generated from formulations and the
balance 34.7% is from active
pharmaceutical ingredients (API);
About 63% of formulations sales come
from USA, about 21% from Europe plus
ROW and the rest 16% comes from anti-
retroviral business segment.
The Company is taking adequate care to grow
in each of the product segments and is
striving to improve its presence through
acquisition of certain commercial operations
of Actavis Plc in Western Europe. The
acquisition will expand Aurobindo's front-end
operations into five segments (generics,
prescription products, over-the-counter
products, hospital products and generics
tenders) with approximately 1,250 dossiers
and an additional pipeline of over 200
products. Aurobindo has acquired personnel,
commercial infrastructure, products,
marketing authorisations and dossier licence
rights in seven European countries. Actavis
and Aurobindo have also entered into a long
term commercial and supply arrangement.
Efforts are being made to strengthen business
presence in potentially large markets such
as Japan, Brazil, South Africa, Canada,
Australia, North and West Africa and Middle
East. These initiatives would also help
consolidate Aurobindo' s volumes and
revenues over the long term, thereby
spreading the risk portfolio.
Instability in any one economy will not have
a major influence on the Company. Overall,
the healthcare industry is not price elastic
and is hence, reasonably insulated from
recession.
Competition risks
Aurobindo's products face intense competition
from products of other pharmaceutical
compani es i n Indi a and abroad and
introduction of new products by competitors
may impair the Company' s competitive
advantage and lead to erosion of revenues.
In the highly competitive pharmaceutical
market where major players are present, it is
difficult to improve market share and reduce
risks. But, Aurobindo has unique capabilities
to face competition from its peers. This risk
would not significantly impact the Company
owing to its integrated manufacturing
process and demonstrated operational
efficiencies all of which are designed to offer
products at competitive prices. For most of
its generic formulations, the Company has
captive manufacture of active ingredients to
ensure timely material availability, effective
cost control and focus on improving profit
margins.
New products continue to get introduced by
an experienced and talented R&D team which
works to deliver on the marketing strategy
by developing new processes/products to
meet customer needs and build market share.
Regulatory & compliance risks
The pharmaceutical industry is constantly
being challenged by a critical compliance risk
viz. to comply with rigorous regulatory
requirements and compliance is evolving from
an isolated departmental initiative to an
enterprise level risk management challenge.
Some of the competitors, especial l y
multinational pharmaceutical companies, have
greater experience in clinical testing and
human clinical trials of pharmaceutical
products and in obtaining regul atory
approvals. This could render Aurobindo's
technology and products uncompetitive or
restrict the Company's ability to introduce new
products thereby adversely impacting business.
Aurobindo has a talent pool of over 850
scientists, who have adequate experience in
handling complex chemistry and filing
applications with the regulatory authorities,
all of whom have helped Aurobindo receive a
total of 195 ANDA approvals from US FDA as
at March 31, 2014. Cumulative filings total
336.
Similarly, as on March 31, 2014, the team
has filed 2,435 DMFs including 190 with US
FDA. 561 patent applications have been filed
with various authorities.
Aurobindo is committed to supplying highest
quality medicines to customers for promoting
healthier life and always strives to conform
to regulatory standards and compliance
standards and meet stringent requirements
of customers to ensure the medicines provide
health care and wellness for the consumers.
The Company has put in place the necessary
systems to prevent any violations or
deviations. Robust quality systems and
control measures have been implemented to
ensure that the quality is ensured by process
design.
Aurobindo is striving to benchmark its
processes and systems as the best-in-class
and thereby provide reassurance to all
stakeholders. Every effort is being made to
ensure that there is no compromise on quality
of products and processes. Continuous
monitoring is being done by QC/QA team to
deliver highest quality products.
Pricing risks
Some of Aurobindo's products are subject to
price controls or other pressures on pricing.
The price controls limit the financial benefits
of growth in the life sciences market and the
introduction of new products.
Due to perfect competition in generic drug
industry, prices are a function of supply and
demand. Prices change in response to
supplies and competitive pressures. Domestic
pricing is also influenced by global trends in
both availability and price of imported active
ingredients. Some pharmaceutical companies
with noticeable presence in particular
segments having demand are able to
differentiate themselves and offer value
proposition. In some segments, pharma
players having good brand value have priced
the products appropriately. Aurobindo is able
to cope with pricing pressures and the focus
on quality assurance has minimized the
possibilities of commoditization. The in-
house R&D is striving to develop cost
effective products by redefining the
production process/facility.
Patent protection risks
Aurobindo's success depends on company's
ability in future to obtain patents, protect
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 32
trade secrets and other proprietary information
and operate without infringing on the
intellectual property rights of other pharma
companies.
Aurobindo has a dedicated team of scientists
whose primary task is to ensure that the
products are manufactured using only non-
infringing processes and related compliances
by reviewing and monitoring IPR issues
continuously.
As of March 31, 2014 the Company has filed
for 561 patents and has been granted 84 non-
infringing process patents. Aurobindo takes
adequate care to respect trade secrets, know-
how and other proprietary information and
ensure that the employees, vendors and
suppliers sign confidentiality agreements.
Market risks
Aurobindo is significantly dependent on US
market for its business. Failure to develop
profitable operations in that market could
adversely affect the Company's business,
operations and financial condition. This
scenario poses the risk of concentration and
dependence on one market.
In order to reduce the concentration risks,
the Company has been spreading its business
(Formulations and API) into European,
Australian and Japanese markets. Aurobindo
with its effective marketing strategy is also
increasing sales volumes for both the
businesses in existing markets and is making
regular efforts to widen geographical spread
by entering into high potential markets in
Lactam and ROI.
The Company has the right balance between
high margin-low volume products and low
margin-high volume products. The product
base also has been streamlined to have right
balance between various product groups.
Proper capacity management is a challenge
at Aurobindo and the Company has taken the
initiative for undertaking continuous capacity
expansions and regular monitoring of on-
going capital projects for their timely
completion. Production planning team at
Aurobindo monitors and utilises production
capacities at optimum levels with the support
of an effective marketing strategy along with
proper coordination and discussion with
production heads and supply chain head.
Currency fluctuation risk
Aurobindo is having high financial obligations
towards imports payments and ECB payments.
In an era of depreciating rupee against USD,
huge borrowings and imports will lead to high
exposure of currency risks. There is no hedging
of currencies. This could have an impact on
the Company's financial position.
Aurobindo is predominately an export
oriented company. Over 82% of the revenue
is from exports. At the same time, the
Company is having sizable imports/working
capital in foreign currency and long-term ECB
to fund the export oriented projects. As such,
the export proceeds provide the natural hedge
to the import and working capital in the
foreign exchange fluctuations. The Company
is conscious of impact on earnings in the
event of currency fluctuations. The forex
position is reviewed on a monthly basis by
the borrowing committee and quarterly by
the Board of Directors/Audit Committee.
Based on the decision of borrowing
committee, the treasury team would ensure
the execution of transactions for forward
cover.
People risks
Aurobindo's success depends largely upon an
effective HR strategy that includes recruitment,
succession pl anning and retention of
competent managerial personnel. The HR
strategy is linked and aligned to overall
business plan and growth of the Company.
Aurobindo faces considerable challenge in
complying with the various applicable statutes
and maintaining good industrial &employee
relations. Labour unrest could have an adverse
impact on the Company's operations. The
industry is human capital intensive with a high
rate of attrition and this could have an impact
on the Company's operations.
In order to meet the overall objectives of
the Company, the HR team has identified and
developed people with potential to fill key
business leadership positions. In addition,
the Company is also recruiting and building
a team of achievers with proper leadership
training.
Aurobindo has been fine tuning its HR
strategy in order to meet business
requirement and future growth. Second-in-
command in each key function and
decentralised management style has
developed a much stronger organization
culture.
There is a proactive approach to HR
management, and at Aurobindo, employees
are given responsibility with authority.
Emphasis is on accountability with clear job
descriptions and the employees are
encouraged to raise the bar and perform to
their potential. The professional approach in
day-to-day management has enabled the
employees to stay motivated. Continuous and
consistent structured interactions and
communications help the personnel update
and upgrade their knowledge and skills and
help minimize the operational risks. ERP
aided monitoring and supervisory controls are
in place to mitigate compliance risks.
The HR team has developed an effective
employee performance appraisal program to
measure work performance as compared to
job expectations. They strive to ensure that
annual performance assessments are
conducted effectively with necessary
feedback and counselling.
The employee attrition in the Company is
lower than the industry average.
Industrial relations (IR) team is making
continuous efforts to maintain a cordial
relationship with employees with a view to
achieve optimal performance from the
employees.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Your Company has delivered satisfactory
results despite several challenges including
rising costs, severe competitive pressures and
sluggishness in customer countries. We are
pleased to report that market conditions for
your Company's products were better exploited
with focused investments in the markets and
products supplemented by significant first-
to-launch advantages. Your Company
continued to invest to add to its market
presence for existing products, widen the
geographical reach both within US and Europe,
position new products by adding to shelf
space, convert product approvals into invoices
by reducing the time-to-market and rationalize
on low value offers.
Team Aurobindo focused on continued growth
within boundaries of its business plan.
Initiatives were carefully planned in new
products and investments were made in to
prioritized growth markets. The year' s
performance demonstrates Aurobindo' s
strength in the injectables segment, successful
introduction of new products in the developed
markets, emphasis on cost competitiveness
benefiting from the structured integrated
business model, and the ability to seize the
opportunities in a highly competitive market.
There was a more positive momentum in a
number of high value products and the teams
are presently striving to ensure sustained
growth quarter-on-quarter.
The consolidated revenue (net) from
operations was higher over the previous year
by 38.3% at `80,997.9 million in the year
under review as against `58,553.2 million in
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 38
the previous year. The formulation and API
ratio during the year was 65:35. Consolidated
net profit is `11,728.5 million, a significant
growth over `2,938.6 million reported in the
previous year. Your Company delivered
earnings per share of `40.2 as against `10.1
in the previous year.
Gross revenue from formulation during the year
was `53,785 million, 58.8% higher on a year-
on-year basis as compared to `33,872 million
reported in 2012-13. Your Company strived
to increase its share of high value products
and special efforts were made to build
relationships in the developed markets. API
revenues for the year under review were
`28,642 million, a growth of 12.9% over the
previous year, on account of favorable demand
scenario as well as focused efforts at
enhancing product realizations.
EBITDA at the consolidated level for the year
was `21,552.1 million, which is 26.6% of
consolidated revenue (net), and has gone up
by 142.3% over 2012-13. Profitability during
the year under review has improved due to
better sales and business mix which had
favorable impact on material consumption to
net sales. Cost of materials for the year under
review was 44.5% of consolidated revenue (net)
in comparison to 51.1% in the previous year.
As far as foreign exchange is concerned, the
closing rupee dollar rate was `59.915 on
March 31, 2014 while it was `54.285 on
March 31, 2013. The rupee has been highly
volatile through the year and has depreciated
by 10.4% during the financial year. This has
resulted in a net exchange loss of `2,030.5
million during the year which includes an
amount of `2,022.2 million on borrowings
adjusted to finance charges as per revised
Schedule VI of the Companies Act, 1956.
Europe and the rest of the world geographies
recorded a sale of `11,355 million, thereby
growing at 28.4% over the previous year, and
in ARV formulation sales by 12% to `8,402
million. As in the previous year, strategic
action was taken to be selective in building
products and markets that contribute to the
bottom line.
In terms of segmental contribution to the
formulations revenue, the share of US was
63.2% against 51.7% in the previous year.
Similarly, European as well as the rest of the
world was 21.2% against 26.2% and ARV was
15.6% against 22.1% in the previous year.
The segmental shift in both API and
formulations is reflective of your Company's
efforts to improve margins and this trend is
expected to continue.
In generic markets of US, UK, Germany, Spain,
France and Netherlands, your Company is
progressing well. Additional thrust to raise
the marketing presence and gain margin is
ongoing in countries such as Japan, Portugal
and Italy. Focused efforts were made during
the year to improve bottomline, even as
progress was made to expand markets.
In the formulation business, your Company
identifies and secures success by market
adapted product development together with
quick and effective commercializing of new
launches. Aurobindo has had a significant
success in its new launches, especially in the
US. The priority has been to optimize the
portfolio and capitalize on the opportunities
for our product offering. Efforts were made to
increase market share and leverage existing
relationships. Aggressive positions were taken
in preparations for new launches. Aurobindo
today has a balanced portfolio withvisibility
for clearly defined plan to climb the value
chain.
Your Company has completed acquisition of
certain commercial operations in Western
Europe from Actavis plc. Aurobindo acquired
personnel, commercial infrastructure,
products, marketing authorizations and dossier
licence rights in seven European countries.
Actavis and your Company have also entered
into a mutually beneficial long-term
commercial and supply arrangement which
envisages collaboration with Actavis to ensure
business continuity and a smooth transition.
Following receipt of clearances from
competent authorities, your Company intends
to combine the strength of both enterprises
(including its vertically integrated platform
and existing commercial infrastructure) in
these markets and to identify and maximise
all opportunities to improve the Company's
performance. Your Company with its inherent
cost competitiveness and group structure
would build on Actavis' strong market position
in the West European countries and strive to
become a significant generics player in Europe.
Your Company will position itself as one of
the leading Indian pharmaceutical companies
in Europe and strive to achieve a critical mass
in Western Europe with a top 10 position in
several key markets. The objective is to expand
the front-end operations into five segments
(generics, prescription products, over-the-
counter products, hospital products and
generics tenders) with approximately 1,250
dossiers and an additional pipeline of over
200 products.The efforts are on to achieve a
rapid and successful integration.
Aurobindo has a clear commitment to creating
value for all its stakeholders. Your Company
has the strategies and core strengths required
to expand the market, scale and efficiencies
to leverage product portfolio globally and
enhance the profitability.
OUTLOOK
Aurobindo is building momentum on its way
to become one of the world's leading generic
pharmaceutical companies. The efforts of the
past in setting up a formidable foundation
with several drivers of growth have started to
pay off. The Company has carefully crafted
architecture for sustained growth with a robust
structure of manufacturing systems, large
regulatory approved product basket, an
enviable geographic and marketing spread
created by a reservoir of talented and
experienced managers and employees focused
on piloting the Company's staircase of growth.
The global pharmaceutical market has several
driving factors, which primarily include
demand for cost effective drugs to meet the
needs of growing population, gradual increase
in life expectancy, and a shift towards generics
for a range of drugs with a greater focus on
lifestyle diseases. Aurobindo anticipated and
prepared itself for the paradigm over the years.
The Company has technologies for collecting
and synthesizing complex chemistry to face
industry challenges of patent cliff,more
efficient and compliance conscious processes
to offer cost effective products that answer
the needs of markets coping with spiraling
healthcare cost. Actions to improve the
operational efficiencies, especially in the area
of supply chain are expected to support
profitability and cash flow going forward.
Every effort now is to sustain the momentum
to become a stake holder friendly company
that meets customer expectations, grows to
be a preferred employer, and expands earnings
while it enhances shareholder value.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 39
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
During the year under review, research and
development team transferred the technology
to manufacture certain niche drug substances
for regulatory filings of injectable products.
This technology involves complex chemistry
and tough purification procedures.
As per your Company's cost optimization plan,
chemical technology was modified/optimized
to reduce the raw materials cost for a number
of drug substances. Further, R&D activities
were initiated to identify and develop
neutraceutical products. During 2013-14,
process development to manufacture a few
neutraceutical products have been completed.
Three chemical research laboratories and one
analytical research laboratory were added to
the existing facilities and several experienced
scientists were recruited during the year to
strengthen the chemical process development
capabilities. The know-how and analytical
capabilities were enhanced to test and to
comply with the stringent requirements of the
new guidelines on elemental impurities in drug
substances.
As in the past, your Company will always focus
on the timely development of drug substances
for Paragraph IV filings to avail 'Day-One
Launch' opportunities in the US market.

performance levels and compliance
monitoring.
Two new projects were taken up at Unit I;
one project is already put to operation and
another project is under installation.

2013-14 include formation of apex EHS
committee in manufacturing units; Setting up
of EHS council at corporate level to facilitate
corporate review of EHS; Safety training for
contractor workmen; Near miss reporting and
reward scheme with visible increase in near
miss reporting and prevention of incidents;
and, integration of safety into job
descriptions.
HAZOP studies initiated in the earlier year are
progressing well, and has been completed for
38 products during the year under review.
Based on the root causes of incidents which
happened at Aurobindo in the last three years,
specific targeted safety training was given to
all production employees on importance of
earthing, nitrogen blanketing, usage of
conductive materials, and avoiding solvent
concentrations in closed rooms.
Specific targeted training was also given to
all employees in the engineering stream on
handling of machine tools, hand tools and
work permit system. Hardware improvements
have been taken up such as installation of
nitrogen blanketing breather valves and fire

The Members of
Aurobindo Pharma Limited
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of
Aurobindo Pharma Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the
Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2014, and the Statement of Profit
and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in India, including
the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956,
read with General Circular 8/2014 dated April 4, 2014 issued by
the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. This responsibility includes the
design, implementation and maintenance of internal control
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that
we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal
control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according
to the explanations given to us, the financial statements give the
information required by the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") in
the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:
a. in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at March 31, 2014;
b. in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the profit
for the year ended on that date; and
c. in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for
the year ended on that date.

("the Order") issued by the Central Government of India in
terms of sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Act, we give

With effect from April 1, 2013, the Company has changed
its method of valuation of inventory of raw materials,
packing materials, stores, spares and consumables from
the earlier method i.e. First-In-First-Out basis (FIFO) to
weighted average method for implementation of Enterprise
Resource Planning in Oracle. Accordingly, this has resulted
in decrease in inventory as at March 31, 2014 by `22.4
and decrease in profit before tax for the year ended
March 31, 2014 by `22.4.
c. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
Indian GAAP requires the management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the results of operations during
the reporting year. Although these estimates are based
upon management’s best knowledge of current events and
actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.
d. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable
that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and
the revenue can be reliably measured.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized on dispatch (in
respect of exports on the date of the bill of lading or
airway bill) which coincides with transfer of significant
risks and rewards to customer and is net of trade discounts,
sales returns and sales tax, where applicable and recognized
based on the terms of the agreements entered into with
the customers. Excise duty deducted from revenue (gross)
is the amount that is included in revenue (gross) and not
the entire amount of liability arising during the year.
Revenue from sale of dossiers/licenses/services is
recognized in accordance with the terms of the relevant
agreements as accepted and agreed with the customers.
Interest is recognized on a time proportion basis taking
into account the amount outstanding and the rate
applicable.
Dividend is recognized as and when the Company’s right
to receive payment is established by the reporting date.

(All amounts in Indian Rupees million, except share data and where otherwise stated)
e. Fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation, impairment losses and specific grant/
subsidies, if any. Cost comprise of purchase price, freight,
non-refundable taxes and duties and any attributable cost
of bringing the asset to its working condition for its
intended use. Borrowing costs relating to acquisition of
fixed assets which take substantial period of time to get
ready for use are included to the extent they relate to the
period till such assets are ready for intended use. All other
borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
Expenditure directly relating to construction activity is
capitalized. Indirect expenditure is capitalized to the extent
those relate to the construction activity or is incidental
thereto. Income earned during construction period is
deducted from the total expenditure relating to
construction activity.
Assets retired from active use and held for disposal are
stated at their estimated net realizable values or net book
values, whichever is lower.
Assets under finance leases, where there is no reasonable
certainty that the Company will obtain the ownership by
the end of the lease term are capitalized and are depreciated
over the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset or
useful life envisaged in Schedule XIV of the Companies
Act, 1956 whichever is shorter.
Premium paid on leasehold land is amortized over the lease
term.
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method, based
on the useful life of the assets as estimated by the
management which generally coincides with rates
prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956
except assets acquired at the Bhiwadi unit in Rajasthan
for which depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis,
at the rates that are higher than those specified in Schedule
XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 and are based on useful
lives as estimated by management. In these cases the rates
are as under:
Leasehold buildings : 5%
Plant & machinery : 20%
Assets costing upto `5,000 (Rupees Five thousand only)
are depreciated fully in the year of purchase.
f. Intangibles
Cost relating to licenses, which are acquired, are capitalized
and amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful
life not exceeding ten years. Research costs are expensed
as incurred. Development expenditure incurred in respect
of internally generated intangible assets such as product
development is carried forward when the future
recoverability can reasonably be regarded as assured.
g. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance
sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based
on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 66
recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount
is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and its value
in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future
cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and risks specific
to the asset.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised
carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful
life.
h. Government grants and subsidies
Grants and subsidies are recognized when there is a
reasonable assurance that the grant or subsidy will be
received and that all underlying conditions thereto will be
complied with. When the grant or subsidy relates to an
asset, its value is deducted in arriving at the carrying
amount of the related asset.
i. Investments
Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be
held for not more than one year from the date on which
such investments are made, are classified as current
investments. All other investments are classified as long
term investments. Current investments are carried at lower
of cost and fair value determined on individual investment
basis.
Long-term investments are carried at cost. However,
diminution in value is provided to recognize a decline,
other than temporary, in the value of the investments.
j. Inventories
Raw materials, packing materials, stores, spares and
consumables are valued at lower of cost, calculated on
'Weighted average' basis and net realizable value. Items
held for use in the production of inventories are not written
down below cost if the finished product in which these
will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above
cost.
Finished goods and work-in-progress are valued at lower
of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes materials,
labour and a proportion of appropriate overheads based
on normal operating capacity. Cost of finished goods
includes excise duty. Cost is determined on a weighted
average basis.
Trading goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable
value. Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition. Cost is determined on a 'Weighted
average' basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, reduced by the estimated costs
of completion and costs to effect the sale.
k. Employee benefits
Employee benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined
contribution scheme and the contributions are charged to
the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year of which the
Notes to financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014
(All amounts in Indian Rupees million, except share data and where otherwise stated)
contributions to the respective funds are due. There are
no other obligations other than the contribution payable
to the respective authorities.
Gratuity is a defined benefit obligation and is provided for
on the basis of an actuarial valuation on project unit credit
method made at the end of each financial year.
Short-term compensated absences are provided for based
on estimates. Long-term compensated absences are
provided for based on actuarial valuation. The actuarial
valuation is done as per projected unit credit method at
the end of each financial year.
Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to Statement
of Profit and Loss and are not deferred.
The Company presents the entire leave as a current liability
in the Balance Sheet, since it does not have an
unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months
after the reporting date.
l. Income taxes
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current
income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid
to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax
Act, 1961. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of
current year timing differences between taxable income
and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing
differences of earlier years.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the
tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance
Sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the
extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient
future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized.
In the situations where the Company is entitled to tax
holiday under Income Tax Act, 1961, no deferred tax is
recognized in respect of timing differences which reverse
during the tax holiday period, to the extent Company's
gross total income is subject to the deduction during the
tax holiday period. Deferred tax in respect of timing
differences which reverse after the tax holiday period is
recognized in the year in which timing difference originate.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets of earlier years are re-
assessed and recognized to the extent that it has become
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be
that future taxable income will be available against which
such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at
each Balance Sheet date. The Company writes-down the
carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that
it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as
the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will
be available against which deferred tax asset can be
realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent
that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as
the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will
be available.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to
the Statement of Profit and Loss as current tax. The
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 67
Company recognizes MAT credit available as an asset only
to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the
Company will pay normal income tax during the specified
period, i.e. the period for which MAT credit is allowed to
be carried forward. In the year in which the company
recognizes MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the
Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available in respect
of Minimum Alternative Tax under the Income Tax Act,
1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the
Statement of Profit and Loss and shown as 'MAT Credit
Entitlement.' The Company reviews the 'MAT credit
entitlement' asset at each reporting date and writes down
the asset to the extent the Company does not have
convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the
specified period.
m. Foreign exchange transactions
Initial recognition: Foreign currency transactions are
recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the
foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the
reporting currency and foreign currency at the date of the
transaction.
Conversion: Foreign currency monetary items are reported
at year-end rates. Non-monetary items which are carried
in terms of historical cost denominated in foreign currency
are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the
transaction.
Exchange differences: Exchange differences arising on the
settlement of monetary items or on reporting monetary
items of Company at rates different from those at which
they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in
previous financial statements, are recognized as income
or as expenses in the year in which they arise.
n. Export benefits, incentives and licenses
Export benefits on account of duty drawback and export
promotion schemes are accrued and accounted in the year
of export, and are included in other operating revenue.
Other benefits in the form of advance authorisation for
imports are accounted for on purchase of imported
materials.
o. Leases
Where the Company is lessee
Finance leases, where the substantial risks and benefits
incidental to ownership of the leased items are transferred
to the Company, are capitalized at the lower of the fair
value and present value of the minimum lease payments
at the inception of the lease term and disclosed as leased
assets. Lease payments are apportioned between the
finance charges and reduction of the lease liability based
on the implicit rate of return. Finance charges are charged
directly against income. Lease management fees, legal
charges and other initial direct costs are capitalized.
Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially
all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item
are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments
are recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit
and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Notes to financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014
(All amounts in Indian Rupees million, except share data and where otherwise stated)
p. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net
profit for the year attributable to equity shareholders by
the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share,
the net profit for the year attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the
effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
q. Provisions
A provision is recognized when the company has a present
obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions
are not discounted to their present value and are
determined based on the best estimate required to settle
the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are
reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect
the current best estimates.
r. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statements
comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term
investments with an original maturity of three months or
less.
s. Employee Stock Compensation Cost
Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based
payment plans is done in accordance with SEBI (Employee
Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme)
Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance Note on Accounting
for Employee Share Based Payments Plans, issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company
measures compensation cost relating to employee stock
options using the intrinsic value method. Compensation
expense, if any, is amortized over the vesting period of
the option on a straight line basis.
t. Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is possible obligation that arises
from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events beyond the control of Company or a present
obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely
rare cases where there is a liability that can not be
recognized because it can not be measure reliably. The
Company does not recognize the contingent liability but
discloses its existence in the financial statements.
u. Borrowing cost
Borrowing cost includes interest incurred in connection
with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange
differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to
the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the
interest cost.

29. The income tax authorities had carried out search operations on the Company at certain locations in February 2012. The Company has fully
co-operated with the authorities and various statements were recorded during the course of these operations. In order to avoid possible
litigations, without admitting any irregularities, the Company had decided to offer an additional income and to pay the resultant tax.
Accordingly provision for income tax of `48.7 on this additional income had been made during the year 2011-12. The proceedings are in
progress and no other material implications are expected by the management in this matter.
30. Employee stock options
a. Employee Stock Option Plan 'ESOP-2006'
The Company instituted an Employee Stock Option Plan 'ESOP-2006' as per the special resolution passed in the 19th Annual General
Meeting held on September 18, 2006. This scheme has been formulated in accordance with the Securities Exchange Board of India
(Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999. The compensation committee accordingly,
granted total 3,240,500 options under seven grants of 175,000; 25,000; 90,000; 1,205,000; 300,000; 500,000; 915,500 and 30,000
options to eligible employees on October 30, 2006; July 31, 2007; October 31, 2007; December 16, 2011; June 19, 2012; January 09,
2013; January 28, 2013 and August 9, 2013 respectively. The method of settlement under scheme is by issue of equity shares of the
Company. Each option comprises of one underlying equity share of `1 each. The said options vest on an annual basis at 10%, 15%, 25%
Notes to financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014

Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 82
and 50% over a period of four years and can be exercised over a period of six years from the date of grant of options. The options have
been granted at the then prevailing market price of `120.70; `132.35; `114.50; `91.60; `106.05; `200.70; `187.40 and `161.30 per
share respectively and hence the question of accounting for employee deferred compensation expenses does not arise as the Company
follows intrinsic value method.

Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 100
The Board of Directors of
Aurobindo Pharma Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements
of Aurobindo Pharma Limited ("the Company"), its subsidiaries and
joint venture, which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at
March 31, 2014, and the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss
and the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended,
and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial
Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated
financial position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated
cash flows of the Company in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we
comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and
presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a
true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An
audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
the explanations given to us, the consolidated financial statements
give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India:
a. in the case of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of the state of
affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2014;
b. in the case of the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, of
the profit for the year ended on that date; and
c. in the case of the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, of the
cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Other Matter
We did not audit total assets of `34,072,945,289 as at March 31,
2014, total revenues of `33,629,814,016 and net cash inflows
amounting to `769,693,455 for the year then ended, included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements in respect of certain
subsidiaries and joint venture, whose financial statements and other
financial information have been audited by other auditors and whose
reports have been furnished to us. Our opinion, in so far as it relates
to the affairs of such subsidiaries and joint venture is based solely on
the report of other auditors. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of
this matter.

b. Change in accounting policy
With effect from April 1, 2013, the Group has changed its
method of valuation of inventory of raw materials, packing
materials, stores, spares and consumables from the earlier
method i.e. First-In-First-Out basis (FIFO) to weighted
average method for implementation of Enterprise Resource
Planning in Oracle. Accordingly, this has resulted in
decrease in inventory as at March 31, 2014 by `91.1 and
decrease in consolidated profit before tax for the year ended
March 31, 2014 by `91.8.
c. Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in
conformity with Indian GAAP requires the management to
make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at
the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
results of operations during the reporting period. Although
these estimates are based upon management’s best
knowledge of current events and actions, actual results
could differ from these estimates.
d. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable
that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the
revenue can be reliably measured.
i. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised on dispatch
(in respect of exports on the date of the bill of lading
or airway bill) which coincides with transfer of
significant risks and rewards to customer and is net
of trade discounts, sales returns and sales tax, where
applicable and recognized based on the terms of the
agreements entered into with the customers. Excise
duty deducted from revenue (gross) is the amount
that is included in revenue (gross) and not the entire
amount of liability arising during the year.
ii. Revenue from sale of dossiers/licenses/services is
recognized in accordance with the terms of the
relevant agreements as accepted and agreed with the
customers.
iii. Interest is recognised on a time proportion basis
taking into account the amount outstanding and the
rate applicable.
iv. Dividend is recognized as and when the Group’s right
to receive payment is established by the reporting
date.
e. Fixed assets and depreciation
i. Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation, impairment losses and specific grant/
subsidies, if any. Cost comprise of purchase price,
freight, non refundable taxes and duties and any
attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working
condition for its intended use. Borrowing costs
relating to acquisition of fixed assets which take
substantial period of time to get ready for use are
included to the extent they relate to the period till
such assets are ready for intended use. All other
borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
ii. Expenditure directly relating to construction activity
is capitalised. Indirect expenditure is capitalised to
the extent those relate to the construction activity
or is incidental thereto. Income earned during
construction period is deducted from the total
expenditure relating to construction activity.
iii. Assets retired from active use and held for disposal
are stated at their estimated net realisable values or
net book values, whichever is lower.
iv. Assets under finance leases, where there is no
reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain the
ownership by the end of the lease term are capitalised
and are depreciated over the lease term or estimated
useful life of the asset or useful life envisaged in
Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 whichever
is shorter.
v. Premium paid on leasehold land is amortised over
the lease term.
vi. Fixed assets of overseas subsidiaries and overseas
joint venture entities are depreciated over the
estimated useful lives using the 'Straight Line
Method'.
vii. Depreciation on assets other than specified above is
provided on the straight-line method, based on the
useful life of the assets as estimated by the
management which generally coincides with rates
prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act,
1956 except assets acquired at the Bhiwadi unit in
Rajasthan for which depreciation is provided on a
straight-line basis, at the rates that are higher than
those specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies
Act, 1956 and are based on useful lives as estimated
by management. In these cases the rates are as under:
Leasehold building : 5%
Plant and machinery : 20%
viii. Assets costing below `5,000 (Rupees Five thousand
only) are depreciated fully in the year of purchase.
f. Intangibles
Intangible assets consists of goodwill, computer software,
licenses, patents and product development costs.
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase consideration
over the net book value of assets acquired of the subsidiary
companies as on the date of investment. Goodwill is not
amortized but is tested for impairment on a periodic basis
and impairment losses are recognized where applicable.
Computer software license cost is expensed in the year of
purchase as there is no expected future economic benefit.
Cost relating to licenses and patents which are acquired,
(All amounts in Indian Rupees million, except share data and where otherwise stated)
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 108
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2014
are capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over
their useful life not exceeding ten years.
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development
expenditure incurred in respect of internally generated
intangible assets such as product development is carried
forward when the future recoverability can reasonably be
regarded as assured. Any expenditure carried forward is
amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of
expected future economic benefit from the related project,
not exceeding ten years.
The carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed for
impairment annually when the asset is not available for
use, and otherwise when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
g. Impairment of tangibles and intangible assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance
sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based
on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is
recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount
is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and its value
in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future
cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and risks specific
to the asset.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised
carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
h. Government grants and subsidies
Grants and subsidies are recognised when there is a
reasonable assurance that the grant or subsidy will be
received and that all underlying conditions thereto will be
complied with. When the grant or subsidy relates to an
asset, its value is deducted in arriving at the carrying
amount of the related asset.
i. Investments
i. Investments that are readily realisable and intended
to be held for not more than one year from the date
on which such investments are made, are classified
as current investments. All other investments are
classified as long term investments. Current
investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value
determined on individual investment basis.
ii. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However,
diminution in value is provided to recognise a decline,
other than temporary, in the value of the investments.
j. Inventories
i. Raw materials, packing materials, stores, spares and
consumables are valued at lower of cost, calculated
on 'Weighted average' basis, and net realizable value.
Items held for use in the production of inventories
are not written down below cost if the finished
product in which these will be incorporated are
expected to be sold at or above cost.
ii. Finished goods and work-in-progress are valued at
lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes
materials, labour and a proportion of appropriate
overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost
of finished goods includes excise duty. Cost is
determined on a weighted average basis.
iii. Trading goods are valued at lower of cost and net
realizable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and
other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present location and condition. Cost is
determined on a 'Weighted average' basis.
iv. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in
the ordinary course of business, reduced by the
estimated costs of completion and costs to effect
the sale.
k. Employee benefits
i. Employee benefits in the form of provident fund is a
defined contribution scheme and the contributions
are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit
and Loss in the year of which the contributions to
the respective funds are due. There are no other
obligations other than the contribution payable to
the respective authorities.
ii. The group's contribution towards defined contribution
benefit plan is accrued in compliance with the
requirements of the domestic laws of the countries
in which the consolidated entities operate in the year
of which the contributions are due.
iii. Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and
is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation
on project unit credit method made at the end of
each financial year.
iv. Short-term compensated absences are provided for
based on estimates. Long-term compensated absences
are provided for based on actuarial valuation. The
actuarial valuation is done as per projected unit credit
method at the end of each financial year.
v. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and are
not deferred.
vi. The Group presents the entire leave as a current
liability in the balance sheet, since it does not have
an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12
months after the reporting date.
l. Income taxes
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current
income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid
to the tax authorities in accordance with the domestic tax
laws of the countries in which the consolidated entities
operate. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of current
year timing differences between taxable income and
accounting income for the year and reversal of timing
differences of earlier years.
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 109
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the
tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance
sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the
extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient
future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where
the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward
tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognized only if
there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence
that they can be realised against future taxable profits.
In the situations where the Group is entitled to tax holiday
under Income Tax Act, 1961 no deferred tax is recognized
in respect of timing differences which reverse during the
tax holiday period, to the extent Company's gross total
income is subject to the deduction during the tax holiday
period. Deferred tax in respect of timing differences which
reverse after the tax holiday period is recognized in the
year in which timing difference originate.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets of earlier years are re-
assessed and recognized to the extent that it has become
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be
that future taxable income will be available against which
such deferred tax assets can be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities pertaining to
consolidated entities are not set off against each other as
the Group does not have a legal right to do so.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed
at each balance sheet date. The Group writes-down the
carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that
it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as
the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income
will be available against which deferred tax asset can be
realised. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent
that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as
the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income
will be available.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to
the consolidated statement of profit and loss as current
tax. The Company recognizes MAT credit available as an
asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence
that the Company will pay normal income tax during the
specified period, i.e. the period for which MAT credit is
allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the
Company recognizes MAT credit as an asset in accordance
with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available
in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the Income
Tax Act, 1961 the said asset is created by way of credit to
the consolidated statement of profit and loss and shown
as 'MAT Credit Entitlement.' The Company reviews the 'MAT
credit entitlement' asset at each reporting date and writes
down the asset to the extent the Company does not have
convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during
the specified period.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2014
m. Foreign exchange transactions
Initial recognition
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting
currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the
exchange rate between the reporting currency and foreign
currency at the date of the transaction.
Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are reported at year-end
rates. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of
historical cost denominated in foreign currency are reported
using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary
items or on reporting monetary items of Company at rates
different from those at which they were initially recorded
during the year, or reported in previous financial
statements, are recognized as income or as expenses in
the year in which they arise.
n. Translation of integral and non-integral foreign
operation
In accordance with the accounting principles as prescribed
under the AS 11 (Revised) and based on the analysis of
relevant criteria, as explained below, the Group has
designated the operations of following overseas
consolidated entities viz Aurobindo Pharma Industria
Farmaceutica Limiteda; APL Pharma Thai Limited; Helix
Healthcare B.V.; Auro Pharma Inc.; Aurobindo Pharma (Pty)
Limited; Aurobindo Switzerland AG; Aurobindo Pharma
(Australia) Pty Limited; Auro Healthcare (Nigeria) Limited;

Unipessoal Lda, as 'integral foreign operations':
a. These foreign operations are under the direct
supervision and control of the parent company’s
management;
b. There are high proportions of inter-company
transactions;
c. These foreign operations are mainly financed by the
parent company; and
Aurobindo Annual Report 2013-14 / 110
d. Cash flows of these foreign operations have direct
impact on the cash flows of the parent company.
The financial statements of an integral foreign operation
are translated as if the transactions of the foreign operation
have been those of the parent company itself.
In translating the financial statements of a non-integral
foreign operation for incorporation in consolidated financial
statements, the assets and liabilities, both monetary and
non-monetary, of the non-integral foreign operation are
translated at the closing rate; income and expense items
of the non-integral foreign operation are translated using
average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting
period. All resulting exchange differences are accumulated
in a foreign currency translation reserve until the disposal
of the net investment.
On the disposal/closure of a non-integral foreign operation,
the cumulative amount of the exchange differences which
have been deferred and which relate to that operation are
recognized as income or as expenses in the same period in
which the gain or loss on disposal is recognized.
When there is a change in the classification of a foreign
operation, the translation procedures applicable to the
revised classification are applied from the date of the
change in the classification.
o. Export benefits, incentives and licenses
Export benefits on account of duty drawback and export
promotion schemes are accrued and accounted in the year
of export, and are included in other operating revenue.
Other benefits in the form of advance authorisation for
imports are accounted for on purchase of imported
materials.
p. Leases
Where the Group is lessee
Finance leases, where the substantial risks and benefits
incidental to ownership of the leased items are transferred
to the Group, are capitalized at the lower of the fair value
and present value of the minimum lease payments at the
inception of the lease term and disclosed as leased assets.
Lease payments are apportioned between the finance
charges and reduction of the lease liability based on the
implicit rate of return. Finance charges are charged directly
against income. Lease management fees, legal charges and
other initial direct costs are capitalized.
Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially
all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item
are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments
are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement
of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
q. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net
consolidated profit for the year attributable to equity
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2014
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share,
the net consolidated profit for the year attributable to
equity shareholders and the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the
effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
r. Provisions
A provision is recognised when the Group has a present
obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that
an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be
made. Provisions are not discounted to its present value
and are determined based on best estimate required to
settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are
reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect
the current best estimates.
s. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statements
comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term
investments with an original maturity of three months or
less.
t. Employee stock compensation cost
Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based
payment plans is done in accordance with SEBI (Employee
Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme)
Guidelines, 1999 and Guidance Note on Accounting for
Employee Share Based Payment Plans, issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The Group
measures compensation cost relating to employee stock
options using the intrinsic value method. Compensation
expense if any, is amortized over the vesting period of the
option on a straight line basis.
u. Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is possible obligation that arises
from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events beyond the control of Group or a present
obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely
rare cases where there is a liability that can not be
recognized because it can not be measured reliably. The
Group does not recognize the contingent liability but
discloses its existence in the consolidated financial
statements.
v. Borrowing cost
Borrowing cost includes interest incurred in connection
with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange
differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to
the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the
interest cost.

30. The income tax authorities had carried out search operations on the Company at certain locations in February 2012. The Company has fully
co-operated with the authorities and various statements were recorded during the course of these operations. In order to avoid possible
litigations, without admitting any irregularities, the Company had decided to offer an additional income and to pay the resultant tax.
Accordingly, provision for income tax of `48.7 on this additional income had been made during the year 2011-12. The proceedings are in
progress and no other material implications are expected by the management in this matter.
31. Employee stock options
a. Employee Stock Option Plan 'ESOP-2006'
The parent company instituted an Employee Stock Option Plan 'ESOP-2006' as per the special resolution passed in the 19th Annual
General Meeting held on September 18, 2006. This scheme has been formulated in accordance with the Securities Exchange Board of
India (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999. The compensation committee accordingly,
granted total 3,240,500 options under seven grants of 175,000; 25,000; 90,000; 1,205,000; 300,000; 500,000; 915,500 and 30,000
options to eligible employees on October 30, 2006; July 31, 2007; October 31, 2007; December 16, 2011; June 19, 2012; January 9,
2013; January 28, 2013 and August 9, 2013 respectively. The method of settlement under scheme is by issue of equity shares of the
parent company. Each option comprises of one underlying equity share of `1 each. The said options vest on an annual basis at 10%,
15%, 25% and 50% over a period of four years and can be exercised over a period of six years from the date of grant of options. The
options have been granted at the then prevailing market price of `120.70, `132.35, `114.50, `91.60, `106.05, `200.70, `187.40 and
`161.30 per share respectively and hence the question of accounting for employee deferred compensation expenses does not arise as
the parent company follows intrinsic value method.

44. Segment information
a. Identification of reportable segments
Segments are identified in line with AS 17 'Segment Reporting', taking into consideration the internal organisation and management
structure as well as the differential risk and returns of the segment.
Based on the Group’s business model of vertical integration, pharmaceuticals have been considered as the only reportable business
segment and hence no separate financial disclosures provided in respect of its single business segment.
Operations of the Group are managed from independent locations, which are located in different geographical locations. However each
of these operating locations are further aggregated based on the following factors: (a) similarity of economic and political conditions;
(b) relationships between operations in different geographical areas; (c) proximity of operations; (d) special risks associated with
operations in a particular area; (e) exchange control regulations; and (f) the underlying currency risk. Accordingly, the following have
been identified as operating and reportable segments: (a) 'India', (b) 'USA' (c) 'Europe' and (d) 'Rest of the World'.
b. Method of pricing inter segment transfers
Inter segment sales are generally accounted at fair values and the same have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting policies
of the segments are substantially the same as those described in the 'Statement of Significant Accounting Policies' as under para 1
above.
